Anthropic Seeks 'Internal Risk Investigator' with Counterintelligence Experience at $305K Salary
机器之心 · wechat · 2026-08-07
Anthropic has sparked controversy with a job posting for an "Internal Risk Investigator." The role requires experience in counterintelligence and countering nation-state threat actors. Responsibilities include monitoring external threats against employees, conducting sensitive interviews, and analyzing employee behavior logs using tools like DLP, UEBA, and SIEM. The position offers a salary between $245,000 and $305,000.
The posting drew significant attention as it aligns with recent remarks by CEO Dario Amodei, who expressed concerns that new hires might be motivated by money rather than the company's mission. Many online commentators felt uneasy about the stringent internal surveillance culture, mocking the requirements by asking how they could ensure the investigator themselves wasn't just applying for the money, or jokingly suggesting they need to hire someone to investigate the investigator.
