The T&S Network estimates this role to be P3, Senior. The typical base salary for that level in Scaled Ops & Moderation is $170k to $230k at an employer this size in the San Francisco Bay Area. Key skills at this level: forecasts volume and staffs against it with real error bars, owns service levels and can explain a miss without blaming the queue, and governs a vendor relationship on quality, not only on cost per action.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: the title reads as P3 · asks for 8+ years · posts $192k to $278k base at a company over 5,000 in the San Francisco Bay Area · sets strategy beyond one team.
The role, in T&S terms
Written by the T&S Network from Google's posting.
Frontier safety program management for Google's next-generation Gemini models and Search integrations, covering the identification, measurement and tracking of frontier risks. The role sits within Trust & Safety, where the team works to reduce risk and fight abuse across Google's products, and is tasked with getting safety gating and mitigations into formal model launch processes.
What you'd do
- Design and run technical programs to identify, measure and record frontier risks in new models and Search integrations.
- Set up standardized launch testing suites, stress-testing workflows and regression tracking for capability degradation and safety bypasses.
- Build automated real-time risk telemetry and dashboards that give executives visibility into residual risk ahead of launch decisions.
- Guide model-level and application-level mitigation strategies to keep safety outcomes intact across user endpoints.
What it asks for
- Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.
- Eight years running programs in a project management role.
- Hands-on background in analytics and building dashboards.
- Prior work applying AI/ML, redesigning processes and automating them.
- Eight years leading projects that span multiple teams or functions (preferred).
- Background in AI testing, regression work and red-team integration (preferred).
Terms in this role
- 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.
- Jailbreak.
- A prompt written to get an AI model to ignore its safety rules.
