Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
Anthropic's Integrity & Compliance (I&C) function is building the systems that let us scale responsibly as our products reach more people, more enterprises, and more regulated industries. Our global compliance program is bespoke, reflecting our unique mission and position as one of the leading AI labs operating on the frontier.
Our Corporate Compliance program comprises a key pillar of our overall Integrity and Compliance function and covers a range of compliance domain areas including anti-bribery, anti-corruption, employee conduct and third party management.
As a member of the Corporate Compliance team, you'll be a core driver of a small, high-leverage team enhancing and executing on Anthropic's Corporate Compliance program. This is a generalist seat anchored by deep anti-bribery/anti-corruption expertise. You'll roll up your sleeves across the full Corporate Compliance remit — third-party risk, gifts & hospitality, conflicts of interest, outside business activities, the Code of Conduct, speak-up matters, and internal investigations — and be a subject-matter expert the business looks to on ABAC: setting the standards for third-party risk management, advising on government interactions and high-risk hospitality, and supporting Legal on compliance terms in commercial agreements. You'll also be a thought partner on how we use AI to run a modern compliance function.
This is a builder's role at a company that takes integrity seriously and moves fast. We're looking for a pragmatic, solution-oriented problem-solver who operates comfortably in grey areas, brings a beginner's mind to the job, and holds the line — clearly and credibly — where it matters. You'll work directly with legal, policy, partnerships, and go-to-market teams across multiple regions, exercise independent judgment on novel questions, and help design the frameworks that enable Anthropic to scale responsibly.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't 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 you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're 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.

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. We're 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.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
