TL;DR · ML Engineer, Responsible AI and Safety

AIML - ML Engineer, Responsible AI and Safety will join a team building large-scale machine learning systems to protect users from emerging threats and ensure product integrity. The role involves owning the full lifecycle of abuse detection models across text, image, and audio modalities. Key responsibilities include designing, building, and deploying production-grade models, driving data strategies involving synthetic data pipelines and automated annotation systems, and architecting end-to-end systems for real-time monitoring and enforcement. Candidates must possess experience with LLMs, foundation models, and diffusion models while demonstrating proficiency in Python and deep learning toolkits like JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow. The work focuses on the technical challenge of translating adversarial insights into production-ready code to mitigate misuse and protect users from harm while maintaining a commitment to user privacy across various product platforms.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade ML models to detect abuse across text, image, and audio modalities.
  • Manage the full machine learning lifecycle from initial prototyping and data analysis to deployment and monitoring.
  • Develop and implement data strategies including synthetic data pipelines and automated annotation systems.
  • Architect end-to-end systems for real-time monitoring of platform activity and automated enforcement actions.
  • Translate adversarial insights into production-ready code to defend against emerging security threats.
  • Fine-tune and align large language models specifically for safety and security applications.
  • Build large-scale data processing pipelines and machine learning infrastructure.

What we're looking for

  • At least 2 years of experience shipping machine learning models to production and owning the full lifecycle from development to maintenance.
  • Strong familiarity with research fundamentals, machine learning principles, and methodologies regarding LLMs, foundation models, and diffusion models.
  • Proficiency in Python and deep learning toolkits such as JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.
  • Ability to work with sensitive and offensive content for security and abuse detection systems.
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience fine-tuning or aligning large language models for security or safety applications.
  • Experience building large-scale data processing pipelines and machine learning infrastructure.
  • Experience leading technical projects and collaborating with diverse, cross-functional teams.
