Job Description
Who you are
You have a Bachelorβs degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or comparable experience, along with 5-10+ years of experience in a software engineering position, preferably with a focus on safety mechanisms in AI systems. You are skilled in programming languages such as Java and Python, and you have a strong understanding of building robust systems that can monitor and enforce safety protocols effectively. You are detail-oriented and have experience in developing monitoring systems that can detect unwanted behaviors from API partners. You thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to work with researchers and analysts to improve AI safety.
Desirable
Experience with machine learning frameworks and familiarity with AI safety principles would be a plus. You are comfortable analyzing user reports and have a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks associated with AI usage. You are passionate about building systems that prioritize user well-being and uphold ethical standards in technology.
What you'll do
As a Software Engineer on the Safeguards team, you will be responsible for developing monitoring systems that detect unwanted behaviors from our API partners and potentially take automated enforcement actions. You will surface these behaviors in internal dashboards for manual review by analysts. Your role will also involve building abuse detection mechanisms and infrastructure to surface abuse patterns to our research teams, helping to harden models at the training stage. You will work on creating robust and reliable multi-layered defenses for real-time improvement of safety mechanisms that work at scale. Additionally, you will analyze user reports of inappropriate content or accounts, ensuring that our AI systems operate within acceptable use policies.
