Data Engineer, Safeguards

Anthropic is looking for a Data Engineer to join the Safeguards team and build the data foundations that keep our AI systems safe. The Safeguards team works to monitor models, prevent misuse, and ensure user well-being — and doing that well requires robust, reliable data infrastructure. In this role, you'll design and build the data pipelines, warehousing solutions, and analytical tooling that power our safety and trust efforts at scale.

You'll work closely with engineers, data scientists, and policy teams to ensure the Safeguards organization has the data it needs to detect abuse patterns, measure the effectiveness of safety interventions, and make informed decisions about model behavior and enforcement. This is a high-impact role where your work will directly support Anthropic's mission to develop AI that is safe and beneficial.

Responsibilities:

- Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that support safety monitoring, abuse detection, and enforcement workflows
- Develop and optimize data models and warehousing solutions to enable efficient analysis of large-scale usage and safety data
- Build and maintain dashboards and reporting infrastructure that give Safeguards teams visibility into model behavior, misuse patterns, and enforcement outcomes
- Collaborate with engineers to integrate data from multiple sources — including model outputs, user reports, and automated classifiers — into a unified analytical layer
- Implement data quality frameworks, monitoring, and alerting to ensure the reliability of safety-critical data
- Partner with research teams to surface data insights that inform model improvements and safety interventions
- Develop self-service data tooling that enables stakeholders to explore safety data and generate reports independently
- Contribute to data governance practices, including access controls, retention policies, and privacy-compliant data handling
