About Anthropic

Anthropicโ€™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.

About the Role

We are looking for a Technical Influence Operations Threat Investigator to join our Threat Intelligence team. In this role, you will be responsible for detecting, investigating, and disrupting the misuse of Anthropicโ€™s AI systems for influence operations, disinformation campaigns, coordinated inauthentic behavior, and other forms of information manipulation.

You will work at the intersection of AI safety and information integrity, combining deep expertise in influence operations with technical investigation skills to identify threat actors who leverage AI to generate synthetic content, amplify narratives, manipulate public discourse, or undermine democratic processes. Your work will directly shape how Anthropic defends against one of the most rapidly evolving categories of AI misuse.

Important context: In this position you may be exposed to explicit content spanning a range of topics, including those of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature. This role may require responding to escalations during weekends and holidays.

Responsibilities:

  • Detect and investigate attempts to misuse Anthropicโ€™s AI systems for influence operations, including AI-generated disinformation, coordinated inauthentic behavior, astroturfing, and narrative manipulation campaigns
  • Conduct technical investigations using SQL, Python, and other tools to analyze large datasets, trace user behavior patterns, and uncover coordinated networks of threat actors conducting influence operations
  • Develop influence operation-specific detection capabilities, including abuse signals, behavioral clustering techniques, and detection methodologies tailored to AI-enabled information manipulation
  • Create actionable intelligence reports on influence operation TTPs, emerging narrative threats, and threat actor campaigns leveraging AI systems
  • Conduct cross-platform threat analysis linking on-platform activity to broader influence campaigns across social media, messaging platforms, and other digital ecosystems
  • Monitor and analyze state-sponsored and non-state influence operations that may leverage AI capabilities, with particular focus on operations originating from or targeting geopolitically significant regions
