Research Engineer, AI Safety & AlignmentActive$225K–$400K

The opportunity

Develop and implement novel evaluation methodologies and metrics to assess the safety and alignment of large language models.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement novel evaluation methodologies and metrics to assess: the safety and alignment of large language models.

  • Research and develop cutting-edge techniques for model alignment, value learning, and interpretability.

  • Conduct adversarial testing to proactively uncover potential vulnerabilities and failure modes in our models.

  • Analyze and mitigate biases, toxicity, and other harmful behaviors in large: language models through techniques like reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and fine-tuning.

  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to translate safety research: into practical, scalable solutions and best practices.

  • Stay abreast of the latest advancements in AI safety research and contribute: to the academic community through publications and presentations.

What they're looking for

  • Hold a PhD (or equivalent experience) in a relevant field such as Computer: Science, Machine Learning, or a related discipline.
  • Write clear and clean production-facing and training code
  • Experience working with GPUs (training, serving, debugging)
  • Experience with data pipelines and data infrastructure
  • Strong understanding of modern machine learning techniques, particularly: transformers and reinforcement learning, with a focus on their safety implications.
  • Are passionate about the responsible development of AI and dedicated to solving complex safety challenges.
