Privacy Research Engineer, Safeguards
1 Days Old
About the Role We are looking for researchers to help mitigate the risks that come with building AI systems. One of these risks is the potential for models to interact with private user data. In this role, you'll design and implement privacy-preserving techniques, audit our current techniques, and set the direction for how Anthropic handles privacy more broadly.
Responsibilities Lead our privacy analysis of frontier models, carefully auditing the use of data and ensuring safety throughout the process
Develop privacy-first training algorithms and techniques
Develop evaluation and auditing techniques to measure the privacy of training algorithms
Work with a small, senior team of engineers and researchers to enact a forward-looking privacy policy
Advocate on behalf of our users to ensure responsible handling of all data
You may be a good fit if you have Experience working on privacy-preserving machine learning
A track record of shipping products and features inside a fast-moving environment
Strong coding skills in Python and familiarity with ML frameworks like PyTorch or JAX

Experience with privacy-preserving techniques (e.g., differential privacy and how it differs from k-anonymity, l-diversity, and t-closeness)
Experience supporting fast-paced startup engineering teams
Demonstrated success in bringing clarity and ownership to ambiguous technical problems
Proven ability to lead cross-functional security initiatives and navigate complex organizational dynamics
Strong candidates may also Have published papers on privacy-preserving ML at top academic venues
Prior experience training large language models (e.g., data collection, pre-training, post-training via fine-tuning and RL, evaluations)
Prior experience developing tooling to support privacy-preserving ML (e.g., differential privacy in TF-Privacy or Opacus)
