As a Member of Technical Staff, AI Safety Post-Training, you will work to develop and implement cutting-edge safety methodologies for post-training large language models with agentic and reasoning capabilities that are served to millions of users through Copilot every day.
\nWe work on the bleeding edge and leverage the most powerful pretrained models and algorithms, making it critical that we ensure our AI systems behave safely and align with organisational values.
\nYou will be responsible for designing novel safety evaluation frameworks, curating high-quality data for robust evaluations and training, prototyping new safety capabilities, and developing safety-focused fine-tuning algorithms.
\nWe’re looking for outstanding individuals with deep expertise in AI safety who can translate research insights into practical solutions while being a strong communicator and collaborative teammate.
\nThe ideal candidate takes the initiative in exploring new safety methodologies and enjoys building world-class, trustworthy AI experiences in a fast-paced applied research environment.
\nResponsibilities:
\nLeverage expertise in AI safety to uncover potential risks and develop novel mitigation strategies, including alignment techniques, constitutional AI approaches, RLHF, and robustness improvements for large language models.
\nCreate and implement comprehensive evaluation frameworks and red-teaming methodologies to assess model safety across diverse scenarios, edge cases, and potential failure modes.
\nBuild automated safety testing systems, generalise safety solutions into repeatable frameworks, and write efficient code for safety model pipelines and intervention systems.
\nMaintain a user-oriented perspective by understanding safety needs from user perspectives, validating safety approaches through user research, and serving as a trusted advisor on AI safety matters.
\nTrack advances in AI safety research, identify relevant state-of-the-art techniques, and adapt safety algorithms to drive innovation in production systems serving millions of users.
\nEmbody our culture and values.
