The opportunity

We are looking for software engineers to help build safety and oversight mechanisms for our AI systems. As a software engineer on the Safeguards team, you will work to monitor models, prevent misuse, and ensure user well-being.

What you'll do

  • Independently scope and lead complex, multi-month infrastructure projects,: from an ambiguous starting point through to a production system

  • Develop monitoring systems to detect unwanted behaviors from our API partners: and potentially take automated enforcement actions; surface these in internal dashboards to analysts for manual review

  • Stand up and run deployments of those monitoring systems across multiple: clouds, including inside cloud-provider partner environments where data residency laws apply. Keep the deployments consistent through shared deployment pipelines, smoke tests, observability, and alerting

  • Design and harden the sandboxed runtime that AI agents execute in: isolation, network egress controls, least-privilege data access, audit logging, and insider-risk controls

  • Manage cost and capacity for large volumes of long-running agent work, and: set and meet service-level objectives for the platform

  • Partner with the engineers and researchers who write and evaluate the: monitoring agents, and with security, privacy, and legal teams, so new detection work can ship quickly on a platform everyone trusts

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or comparable experience
  • Proficiency in Python, Distributed Systems, and Infrastructure as Code
  • Have worked across multiple cloud providers, or built infrastructure designed to be provider-agnostic
  • Have built and operated large-scale, distributed infrastructure, such as data: platforms, control planes, or job schedulers
