ba66dcb1-8d9 Research Scientist, AI Controls and Monitoring We're seeking a Research Scientist to join our team focused on AI Controls and Monitoring. As a key member of our team, you will design methods, systems, and experiments to ensure that advanced AI models and agents remain aligned with intended goals, even in high-stakes or adversarial environments.

Your responsibilities will include developing monitoring techniques and observability methods, researching mechanisms for layered control, and designing red-team simulations to probe weaknesses in oversight and control mechanisms.

To succeed in this role, you'll need a strong background in machine learning, particularly in generative AI, and at least three years of experience addressing sophisticated ML problems. You should be comfortable designing control and monitoring experiments for AI systems, building prototype systems, and quickly turning new ideas from the research literature into working prototypes.

In addition to your technical expertise, you'll need strong written and verbal communication skills to operate in a cross-functional team.

This role offers a competitive salary range of $216,000-$270,000 USD, depending on location and experience, as well as equity-based compensation and benefits, including comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage, retirement benefits, a learning and development stipend, and generous PTO.
