We are seeking experienced AI Safety Practitioners to evaluate the safety, quality, and alignment of frontier AI models across complex, policy-sensitive, and ambiguous ("grey-area") topics. You will assess AI-generated responses, apply safety policies, and help improve model behavior through structured evaluations and feedback.

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for safety, factual accuracy, policy compliance, and overall quality.

  • Review content involving misinformation, political persuasion, self-harm, violence, cyber, biosecurity, and other sensitive domains.

  • Apply and refine evaluation rubrics for RLHF, SFT, and AI safety benchmarking.

  • Identify unsafe outputs, hallucinations, reasoning failures, and policy violations.

  • Provide structured feedback to improve model alignment and safety performance.

  • Collaborate with AI researchers and safety teams on ongoing evaluation initiatives.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Journalism, Communications, Psychology, Sociology, Public Policy, Law, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, or a related discipline.

  • 5+ years of professional experience in AI Safety, Trust & Safety, journalism, public policy, scientific research, security, or a related field.

  • Excellent written English, critical thinking, and analytical reasoning skills.

  • Ability to consistently evaluate nuanced and policy-sensitive scenarios.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with AI Safety, RLHF, SFT, Trust & Safety, or AI evaluation.

  • Familiarity with safety policies, content moderation, or evaluation rubric development.

  • Experience reviewing complex, high-risk, or ambiguous content.

Why Join?

  • Shape the safety and behaviour of frontier AI models used by millions worldwide.

  • Work on challenging, real-world safety evaluations across nuanced and high-impact domains.
