Engineering Manager, Safeguards

About the role

The Safeguards team ensures Anthropic’s models and products are developed and deployed safely. As Engineering Manager for the Review Tooling team, you will own the tools that safety investigators use to detect harms and enforce policies across first‑party and third‑party platforms.

Key responsibilities

• Lead, grow, and develop a team of engineers building investigation, review, and enforcement tooling for both first‑party and third‑party platform surfaces.
• Define the vision and roadmap for the review tooling platform, including analytics, privacy‑compatible data access primitives, and a sandbox for rapid interface development.
• Drive strategy for scaling review through automation, enabling reviewers to use Claude effectively and building Claude‑assisted workflows.
• Partner with policy, operations, legal, privacy, and data‑science stakeholders to translate enforcement needs into reliable systems.
• Ensure tooling evolves with new privacy primitives and data‑retention commitments while maintaining user trust.
• Create clarity for the team and stakeholders in an ambiguous, evolving environment.

Required profile

• Experience managing software engineering teams, including hiring, coaching, and developing engineers.
• Technical background in full‑stack or platform engineering with deep involvement in architecture and design.
• Proven track record shipping internal tools or platforms used by demanding operational users and improving workflows measurably.
• Experience working cross‑functionally with non‑engineering partners such as operations, policy, or legal teams.
• Excellent communication skills, able to explain technical trade‑offs to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Commitment to the societal impacts of AI and desire to make powerful systems safer.

Required skills

• Full‑stack engineering
• Platform engineering
• Privacy‑preserving data access primitives
• LLM integration (e.g., Claude)
• Automation and human‑in‑the‑loop workflow design
