Anthropic | $280,000—$300,000
Steph's Notes:
As with their other roles, the person in this role will need to be in office 25% of the time.
Also requires proficiency in SQL and Python. I continue to wish that Anthropic would address how they're mitigating the mental health risks of Trust & Safety work, and there are some minor flags ("fast-paced environment," hello darkness my old friend), but it's a solid Eh, It's Probably Fine.

About Anthropic
Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that’s working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our customers and for society as a whole. Our interdisciplinary team has experience across ML, physics, policy, business and product.
About the role:
As an Enforcement Lead on the Trust and Safety team, you will develop enforcement and monitoring strategies for upholding our Usage Policies. This role sits on the Policy Enforcement team and reports to the Head of Enforcement. As a senior IC, you will work closely with the Product Policy team to develop deep expertise in our Usage Policy and internal policy standards so that they can be consistently enforced across our suite of products, customers and users.

- Think creatively about how to use technology in a way that is safe and beneficial, and ultimately furthers the goal of advancing safe AI systems

The expected salary range for this position is:
Annual Salary:$280,000—$300,000 USD
Logistics
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
US visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate; operations roles are especially difficult to support. But if we make you an offer, we will make every effort to get you into the United States, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
