Description

About the role

The Account Abuse team at Anthropic is tasked with ensuring the company's computing capacity is allocated fairly, minimizing resources available to bad actors and preventing them from coming back. As a software engineer on this team, you will build systems that gather and analyze signals at scale, balancing tradeoffs and coordinating closely with stakeholder teams throughout the company.

Responsibilities

  • Think and respond quickly in a rapidly-changing greenfield environment
  • Jump into other teams' code to identify key points to gather signals or introduce interventions with minimal impact on their systems' stability, complexity, or overall architecture
  • Integrate with third-party data-enrichment vendors
  • Create monitoring dashboards, alerts, and internal admin UX
  • Work closely with data scientists to maintain situational awareness of current usage patterns and trends, and with the Policy & Enforcement team to maximize the impact of their human-review availability
  • Build robust and reliable multi-layered defenses
  • Lead root cause analyses and deep-dive investigations into account activity to identify abuse patterns, uncover emerging attack vectors, and inform both immediate enforcement actions and longer-term systemic defenses

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or comparable experience
  • 5-10+ years of experience in a software engineering position, preferably with a focus on integrity, spam, fraud, or abuse detection
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and data analysis tools
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience building trust and safety mechanisms for and using AI/ML systems, such as fraud-detection models or security monitoring tools or the infrastructure to support these systems at scale
  • Experience working closely with operational teams to build custom internal tooling

Annual compensation range

$320,000-$405,000 USD
