The role, in T&S terms

The role builds operational workflows to assess model behavior, drive enforcement decisions, and develop evals, and sits within the Safeguards team.

- Write and upkeep evals that gauge model behavior on these policy areas and catch regressions
- Provide the Safeguards policy design group with organized notes on policy holes and unclear enforcement calls
- Flag new misuse trends, unfamiliar attack methods, and indicators of coordinated violence for escalation
- Review flagged content to make enforcement decisions and surface policy gaps, especially novel or sophisticated misuse
- Partner with Engineering and Data Science to tune detection and automated enforcement for policy violations
- Write enforcement guidelines and reviewer documentation for consistent decisions across varied content
What it asks for
- Deep applied expertise in weapons systems, able to translate complex technical evidence into enforcement decisions
- Hands-on time building up and expanding enforcement or content review operations
- Working knowledge of SQL or similar data tools
- Track record spotting emerging risks and threat actors and briefing Product, Policy, Engineering, and Legal
- Hands-on work with generative AI tools, including crafting prompts for review and enforcement
- Grasp of how product rules get applied consistently at scale, including content moderation
Worth knowing
- May be exposed to explicit content that is violent, graphic, hateful, or psychologically disturbing
Terms in this role
- OSINT.
- Open-source intelligence: investigating with publicly available information, such as social media, public records, archived pages and imagery.
- Red teaming.
- Testing a system, often an AI model, by deliberately trying to make it fail or misbehave, so problems are found and fixed first.
