You will partner closely with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders to secure models across multiple modalities, including LLMs, Text-to-Image, Text-to-Video, and AI Agents.
Key Responsibilities
Methodology & Strategy
- Architect rigorous, scalable testing methodologies and red-teaming frameworks to evaluate foundational models, multimodal systems, and AI agents.
- Develop sophisticated prompt strategies across diverse risk domains (e.g., Hate Speech, Misinformation, IP & Copyright infringement, Child Safety) to expose complex model vulnerabilities.
- Conduct ongoing research into emerging jailbreak tactics, prompt injection techniques, and novel circumvention strategies used against foundational safety measures.
Subject-Matter Expertise
- Serve as a trusted content and domain expert, providing deep technical and policy insight to support the Program Lead in scoping projects, assessing risks, and driving strategy.
- Lead efforts to continuously document, synthesize, and expand Alice’s internal AI Safety knowledge base, standardizing best practices, taxonomies, and research findings across the team.
- Mentor junior analysts, foster a culture of continual learning, and elevate the team’s analytical standards.
Operational Excellence
- Own engagement lifecycles from initial planning and methodology design through execution, quality assurance (QA), and final delivery.
- Oversee complex, multi-language datasets across multiple areas of abuse, ensuring the highest precision, accuracy, and output quality.
- Partner effectively with engineering, product, policy, and client-facing teams to communicate research findings and inform mitigation strategies.
Must-Have
- 5+ years of experience in AI Safety, Responsible AI, Trust & Safety, or aligned research domains.
- Proven expertise in research design and building qualitative or quantitative evaluation methodologies for GenAI.
- Strong domain expertise in content risks (e.g., toxicity, copyright, misinformation, safety policy violations).
- Track record of project ownership, leading deliverables end-to-end with high attention to detail in fast-paced, variable environments.
- Deep familiarity with modern Generative AI architectures, prompt engineering, red-teaming, and AI agents.
- Strong communication skills to act as a core subject-matter contact for program leads, internal teams, and clients.
Nice-to-Have
- Proven track record of published research in academia, industry whitepapers, or a research institute.
- Hands-on experience evaluating multimodal systems (Text-to-Image, Text-to-Video, Audio).
- Experience mentoring, leading, or QAing the work of junior analysts and researchers.
The salary range for this role in the US is $105K - $115K - Range may vary based on experience. Salary at the time of offer will be commensurate with experience.
