Research Scientist / Research Engineer, Safety + Alignment, Search

We’re looking for a Researcher to lead our safety and alignment research: building the systems that distinguish useful web content from spam, manipulation, and other adversarial or low-quality material.

The challenge extends beyond evaluating individual pages. A page may appear credible in isolation, while its links, metadata, or relationships with other sites reveal coordinated manipulation. As AI makes convincing content easier to produce at scale, detection systems must adapt to increasingly sophisticated adversaries.

You’ll define the technical approach, build classifiers and evaluations, and shape how integrity signals influence what Search indexes and retrieves. Working closely with Search and broader Safety and Integrity teams, you’ll use frontier models to advance detection methods and bring them into production.

• Define the technical direction for Safety + Integrity, identifying gaps and determining which problems and interventions to prioritize.
