TL;DR · Senior Technical Program Manager, LLM Safety

The Senior Technical Program Manager - LLM Safety joins the team to lead cross-functional planning and execution for evaluation identification, selection, and execution. This role focuses on agentic-safety evaluations, including multi-turn tool calling, unsafe tool use, and unintended actions. You will translate technical safety priorities into executable programs covering LLM security, frontier risks, hallucinations, and agentic safety for Nemotron models. Responsibilities include establishing governance for reviewing safety findings, tracking multi-modal and multi-lingual evaluations, and building dashboards for executive reporting. Required skills include a deep understanding of LLM architecture, frameworks like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face, and experience with post-training, inference, and Red Teaming. You will solve complex problems regarding data poisoning, model manipulation, and ensuring release-readiness through documented safety evidence and risk-acceptance decisions.
