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, including assessing risks, defining policies, and developing mitigation strategies. You will build models, tools, datasets, and evaluation methods to monitor and diagnose failures in large language and multimodal models. Key responsibilities involve designing human and automated evaluations, performing failure analysis, and driving safety alignment strategies for production integration. Required skills include proficiency in Python and data science libraries like Pandas, along with experience in Transformers, LLMs, VLMs, NLP, and Computer Vision. The work focuses on ensuring fairness, robustness, and uncertainty estimation to minimize unintended consequences across people and systems while improving generative AI safety.

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 human and automated evaluation methods for complex and multi-labeled data.
  • Integrate safety safeguards into production systems throughout the deployment lifecycle.
  • Analyze multimodal datasets to improve model robustness, fairness, and uncertainty estimation.
  • Incorporate human and automated feedback to continuously improve feature safety post-launch.
  • Conduct research on the societal impacts and technical robustness of large-scale AI systems.

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).
