The compliance team assures regulators and customers that those expectations are met by earning security credentials and responding to direct inquiry about Anthropics security program from auditors customers and partners.

This opportunity is unique as we work to secure todays most novel and valuable asset types we must build a new kind of compliance program assuring the safety of artificial intelligence capabilities.

What youll do:

• Plan and lead engagements with independent assessors to earn certifications and attestations important to Anthropic customers.
• Understand the breadth of Anthropics security capabilities and how those capabilities implement common security frameworks such as NIST 800-171 ISO 27001 and SOC2.
• Drive programs to improve the ease and rigor of Anthropics compliance to its security controls and standards.
• Write update and enact policies capturing security and AI safety requirements.
• Support maintenance of Anthropics system of controls through audit recordkeeping and communication.

• Are familiar with audit planning and procedures for compliance with ISO certifications SOC attestations and similar assessments
• Have built or significantly improved a common controls framework
• Write clear and useful security documentation
• Thrive in a fast-paced and growing organization
• Are comfortable organizing time-bounded task management of delegated work streams across a diverse organization
• Have 7 years of experience in a role with similar responsibilities

Strong candidates may also have experience with:

• Understand development of large language models (LLMs)
• Have some experience implementing automated enforcement of security controls

Deadline to apply:None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelors 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 arent 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 youre interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones were 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 were 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. Were 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.
