Anthropic is seeking an experienced Safety & Security Counsel for its EMEA region, based in Dublin. This role sits at the intersection of legal expertise and AI safety, advising on the full spectrum of keeping Claude and Anthropic's systems safe and secure.
You will serve as the first-line legal advisor on usage policy design and enforcement frameworks, safeguards R&D, misuse detection and response, sensitive escalations, threat intelligence, security incident response, and safety/security-related regulatory engagement. The work is novel and interdisciplinary—you will frequently be building legally-relevant frameworks rather than simply applying existing ones.
Key responsibilities include partnering with trust & safety teams on usage policy design across harm areas (CBRNE, cyber, user wellbeing, scaled abuse, influence operations, distillation); advising on policy enforcement frameworks and appeals processes; counseling on sensitive escalations involving governments, law enforcement, and regulators; advising on threat intelligence investigations, bug bounty programs, and safety testing; supporting safeguards and security engineering teams on detection mechanisms and data governance; serving as first-line legal contact for safety and security incidents with real-time guidance; building crisis management playbooks and escalation protocols; and staying abreast of AI policy and regulatory developments across relevant jurisdictions.
Minimum qualifications include qualification to practice law in Ireland or another relevant jurisdiction, legal drafting and advisory experience, working knowledge of trust & safety/cybersecurity/privacy/platform regulation, experience with fast-moving high-stakes matters (investigations, regulatory work, crisis management), technical fluency sufficient to understand system architecture and AI model behavior, and experience coordinating multi-stakeholder responses to time-sensitive matters.
Preferred qualifications include 8+ years of relevant legal experience, in-house product counsel experience at a technology company on security/trust & safety issues or law firm experience advising tech clients on regulatory investigations, experience with content moderation and platform safety, facility working with technical teams (ML, security research, infrastructure, threat intelligence), familiarity with AI systems and machine learning concepts, strong judgment on risk assessment and decision-making under uncertainty, and a hands-on working style committed to responsible AI development.
