Обязанности
- As a Research Software Engineer on the Safety team, you will design, build, and own the infrastructure used to run our most sensitive model evaluations — including evaluations in CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear), child safety, and other dangerous-capability domains. These evaluations inform release decisions for our open models, so the systems you build must be secure, isolated, reproducible, and trustworthy under scrutiny.
- This is a deeply technical, high-ownership role at the intersection of platform engineering, security, and safety research. You will partner closely with domain experts, legal, and safety researchers to turn their evaluation needs into robust, scalable infrastructure: sandboxed execution environments, controlled data pipelines for sensitive material, access controls, audit logging, and the tooling that lets researchers safely elicit and measure model capabilities in high-consequence areas.
- Design and build secure, sandboxed infrastructure for running sensitive model evaluations, including CBRN and other dangerous-capability domains.
- Build controlled data pipelines and storage for sensitive evaluation material, applying least-privilege and need-to-know access, role-based access control (RBAC), encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and data-minimization safeguards.
- Partner with safety researchers and domain experts to translate evaluation designs into reliable, reproducible, and scalable systems.
- Build eval-orchestration tooling and harnesses that let researchers run high-throughput evaluations against models and agents in isolated environments.
- Develop infrastructure for measuring AI capability uplift in high-consequence domains, and integrate results into the pipelines that inform release decisions.
- Implement guardrails, monitoring, and compartmentalization so sensitive work stays appropriately siloed, applying least-privilege, need-to-know, and defense-in-depth principles across compute, data, and tooling.
- Write production-quality Python (and related tooling) for high-throughput data processing and evaluation systems.
- Improve the reliability, security posture, and developer experience of the safety team's evaluation platform over time.
Требования
- Strong software engineering skills, particularly in Python, with a track record of building reliable, scalable infrastructure or platform systems.
- Experience building sandboxed, isolated, or otherwise security-sensitive execution environments (e.g., containerization, VM isolation, secure compute) for Trust and Safety teams.
- Solid grounding in security engineering fundamentals: principle of least privilege, need-to-know access, role-based access control (RBAC), secrets management, encryption, audit logging, compartmentalization, and defense-in-depth design.
- Experience building data pipelines and handling sensitive or restricted data with appropriate safeguards.
- Ability to own entire problems end-to-end, including ambiguous, cross-functional ones.
- Comfort working on sensitive projects that require discretion, integrity, and sound judgment.
- Thrive in a fast-paced, high-agency startup environment with a bias toward action.
