About the job
Our team focuses on de-risking model launches by defending against critical misuse domains such as Cybersecurity, CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Conventional Explosive), and Harmful Manipulation. Currently, this involves building novel evaluations, red-teaming, researching and deploying advanced mitigations (both in-model and out-of-model), and monitoring emerging risks. We ensure that our mitigations are highly robust, while still enabling the beneficial use of our technology.
