TL;DR · ML Engineer, Responsible AI and Safety

As an AIML - ML Engineer, Responsible AI and Safety, you will join a team dedicated to building large-scale machine learning systems that protect users from emerging threats and ensure product integrity. You will own the full lifecycle of abuse detection models across text, image, and audio modalities, moving from prototyping and data analysis to deployment and monitoring. Your daily work involves designing production-grade models, driving data strategies including synthetic data pipelines and automated annotation systems, and architecting end-to-end systems for real-time enforcement. You will utilize Python and deep learning toolkits like JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow while applying knowledge of LLMs, foundation models, and diffusion models. The role focuses on the technical challenge of translating adversarial insights into robust security solutions to mitigate misuse across various platforms.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade ML models to detect and mitigate 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 execute data strategies including synthetic data pipelines and automated annotation systems to improve model performance.
  • 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 the ecosystem against emerging threats.
  • Fine-tune and align large language models specifically for security and safety 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 purposes.
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
  • 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.
