Software Engineer - Safeguards for Third-Party Cloud Platforms (Remote)

About the Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer - Safeguards for Third-Party Cloud Platforms to join our team at Anthropic. This remote Software Engineer position is vital for building and operating safety mechanisms that protect our AI systems on third-party cloud service platforms. You will be responsible for ensuring that every request served through our CSP partners is monitored for misuse and compliant with data privacy commitments.

What You'll Do

• Build, deploy, and operate real-time safeguards infrastructure—classifiers, rate limits, enforcement actions, and intervention hooks—embedded directly in the third-party CSP inference serving path.
• Design and maintain the data residency and privacy architecture for safeguards signals on CSP platforms.
• Develop telemetry, logging, and evaluation pipelines that provide operational teams with situational awareness over CSP traffic.
• Identify low-impact points in the CSP serving stack to gather signals or introduce interventions without degrading performance.
• Own on-call responsibilities, drive root-cause analyses, and build systems that minimize human intervention to keep our AI systems safe.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 4–10+ years of experience in high-scale, high-reliability software development.
• Proficiency in Python, with experience across the stack from request-path services to data pipelines.
• Ability to think adversarially and design defenses in depth.
• Experience scaling infrastructure to accommodate rapid traffic growth while maintaining reliability.

Nice to Have

• Experience with trust and safety, anti-abuse, fraud, or integrity systems.
• Familiarity with machine learning serving infrastructure and major cloud platform internals.
• Experience with data residency and compliance-constrained architectures.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary ranging from $405,000 to $485,000 annually.
• Visa sponsorship for eligible candidates.
• Relocation support to help you settle into your new role.
• Flexible working hours and a collaborative office environment.
• Generous vacation and parental leave policies.
