📋 Description

• Own the alignment and interpretability research agenda for security-domain AI • Set priorities, personally lead the hardest open problems, and develop methods that explain model behavior mechanistically: not just what models do, but why, and what that implies at the edges of their training distribution • Build and apply techniques for detecting offensive-misuse signal in model internals, including probing for latent representations of vulnerability knowledge, circuit analysis to understand how security-relevant capabilities are encoded, and activation analysis to surface risk that behavioral testing alone would miss • Work closely with the adversarial evaluation team to close the loop between what they find in testing and what you find in the weights • Develop alignment methodology for security-domain AI and own the evaluation framework that makes it measurable • Contribute original research through publications and external engagement • Recruit, develop, and retain a lean team of research scientists

🎯 Requirements

• MS or PhD in machine learning, computer science, or a related field, with research depth in interpretability, AI alignment, or a closely adjacent area • 8+ years in ML research or engineering, with direct experience doing interpretability or alignment research on large language models • Hands-on expertise with mechanistic interpretability methods (probing classifiers, circuit analysis, activation patching, causal tracing, feature visualization) applied to real models • Experience designing and running alignment evaluations: behavioral testing, capability elicitation, red-lining, or similar methodologies rigorous enough to support meaningful safety claims • Track record of leading and growing researchers while remaining an active technical contributor yourself

🏖️ Benefits

• Market leader in compensation and equity awards • Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs • Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge • Paid parental and adoption leaves • Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role • Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections • Vibrant office culture with world class amenities • Great Place to Work Certified™ across the globe
