TL;DR · Senior ML Engineer, Responsible AI and Safety

AIML - Senior ML Engineer, Responsible AI and Safety will join the Responsible AI group within the Human-Centered Machine Intelligence organization. This senior role leads the responsible AI lifecycle for generative features, involving risk assessment, policy definition, and mitigation strategy development. You will build models, tools, datasets, and evaluation methods to monitor and diagnose failures in large language and multimodal models. Key responsibilities include driving safety alignment, performing failure analysis, and incorporating human and automated feedback to improve feature safety. Required skills include proficiency in Python, Pandas, and data science libraries, alongside experience with Transformers, LLMs, VLMs, NLP, and Computer Vision. You will solve technical problems regarding fairness, robustness, and uncertainty while navigating the intersection of policy, product, and generative AI.

What you'll do

  • Lead the end-to-end responsible AI lifecycle by assessing risks and defining safety policies.
  • Develop and implement architecture mitigation and safety alignment strategies for generative models.
  • Build models, tools, and datasets to monitor and diagnose failures in generative AI.
  • Design and support human and automated evaluation methods for complex and multi-labeled data.
  • Integrate safety safeguards into production environments to minimize unintended consequences.
  • Analyze multimodal datasets to improve the robustness and fairness of large language models.
  • Incorporate human and automated feedback post-launch to continuously improve feature safety.
  • Conduct research on model explainability, uncertainty estimation, and societal impacts of AI.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of proven ability in machine learning, including work with generative models (Transformers, LLMs, VLMs), NLP, or Computer Vision.
  • Proficiency in Python and data science libraries with strong skills in data analysis, visualization, and applied ML workflows.
  • Experience designing and supporting human and automated evaluations, particularly with complex, nuanced, or multi-labeled data.
  • Hands-on experience collecting and analyzing language, vision, or multimodal datasets.
  • Background in failure analysis, quality engineering, or robustness testing for ML-driven systems.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills to translate technical insights for cross-functional partners, senior leadership, and executives.
  • Strong analytical and independent problem-solving skills with the ability to navigate ambiguity.
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field, or equivalent experience (preferred).
