The role, in T&S terms

Written by the T&S Network from Anthropic's posting.

Enforcement analyst work on AI platform misuse for biological and adjacent CBRNE harms. The role reads real model interactions to separate benign biology research from credible attempts at harm, applies the Usage Policy, and runs the bio-harms enforcement monitoring workflows. It sits between biosecurity threat analysis and platform enforcement, working with Policy, Threat Intelligence, Data Science, and Engineering.

What you'd do

  • Review real model interactions and decide whether activity is benign research or a credible harm attempt.
  • Apply the Usage Policy to bio threats and nearby chemical, radiological, nuclear, and explosive risks.
  • Run bio-harms detection, investigation, triage, and escalation workflows, and keep improving them.
  • Investigate suspected violations and document evidence to support enforcement decisions.
  • Monitor platform activity for emerging bio threat patterns that may need policy updates or enforcement.
  • Work with Engineering and Data Science to tune detection models and automated enforcement systems.
  • Handle escalations and time-sensitive potential bio-related Usage Policy violations.

What it asks for

  • Degree in a bio-related field such as microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or public health, and/or related professional experience.
  • Experience using AI tools to build data dashboards for enforcement metrics.
  • Ability to make defensible decisions on ambiguous cases under time pressure.
  • Clear written communication that explains technical bio concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Background in biodefense, biosecurity, WMD non-proliferation, CBRNE, or threat intelligence (preferred).
  • OSINT techniques relevant to weapons of mass destruction (preferred).

Worth knowing

  • Exposure to explicit sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing content.
  • Shared on-call responsibility across the Policy and Enforcement teams.
