The T&S Network estimates this role to be M3, Manager. The typical base salary for that level in Investigations & Threat Intel is $170k to $260k at a frontier lab. Key skills at this level: runs an investigation end to end, from signal to enforcement to writeup, builds and maintains the tradecraft others on the team follow, and works law enforcement and external referral pathways correctly.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: the posting states the level in its title · the title reads as M3 · posts $375k to $455k base at a frontier lab · sets strategy beyond one team · manages people.
The role, in T&S terms
Written by the T&S Network from Anthropic's posting.
Builds and runs a Model Exploitation & Fraud team inside Threat Intelligence that detects, investigates, and disrupts large-scale exploitation of an AI company's models. Covered abuse includes model distillation, unauthorized access, account farming and reseller abuse, and fraud and scam operations. The team's job is to direct and resource senior investigators tracing distillation networks, reseller and proxy ecosystems, and financially motivated actors across first-party and third-party platforms.
What you'd do
- Set strategy, priorities, and the detect, investigate, action, and share scope for the mission area
- Hire, manage, and develop a small team of technical threat investigators and set the casework quality bar
- Define lanes between management and senior individual contributors who own the deepest technical investigations
- Steer and staff complex probes into distillation, account misuse, unauthorized access, and fraud rings
- Redesign triage for a high-volume detection pipeline using abuse signals, clustering, and agentic workflows
- Create fraud and scam detection and investigation playbooks starting from nothing
- Lead the external sharing program with U.S. government agencies and industry peers
What it asks for
- Proficiency in SQL and Python for reviewing data-heavy casework
- Experience overseeing investigations across surface, deep, and dark web, including reseller and access-broker communities
- Record of building processes, detection systems, or programs from nothing and showing what changed
- Clear communication with executives, engineers, and external partners
Worth knowing
- Exposure to explicit sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing content
- Escalation responses required during weekends and holidays
