Responsibilities:

• Independently conduct comprehensive end-to-end insider risk investigations while working closely with IT, SecEng, Legal, HR and other cross-functional teams.
• Conduct sensitive interviews of employees, witnesses and other involved parties.

• Develop and maintain chain of custody procedures for physical and digital evidence collection.
• Support development of digital evidence collection and analysis processes and procedures.
• Assist in iterating and improving on processes, procedures and systems to detect, mitigate and investigate insider risks.
• Work cross-functionally to develop, refine and operationalize insider risk indicators, scenarios and mitigation strategies.
• Create and maintain documentation for hardware forensics procedures, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
• Support education and awareness programs to promote a robust security culture.
• Serve as the subject matter expert for insider risk and provide training to team members as needed.

You may be a good fit if you have:

• Bachelor's degree and/or higher education in a related field.

• 5+ years experience in conducting interviews.
• Demonstrated experience in mobile device forensics (iOS/Android) and macOS computer forensics.
• Knowledge of DLP, UEBA, SIEM, SOAR and other insider risk security tooling.
• Understanding of forensic imaging, data extraction, and analysis methodologies.
• Broad understanding of internal and external investigations, cybersecurity, surveillance, interview techniques, risk assessment and managing strong cross-functional relationships.
• Experience with maintaining chain of custody and partnering with legal to prepare forensic reports for legal proceedings.
• Exceptional communication, collaboration skills and the ability to lead projects with little guidance.

Strong candidates may also have

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

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.

Visa sponsorship:We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, 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.
