What you need
- Hold a degree in a chemistry-related field (e.g., chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science) and/or relevant professional experience in a related field.
- Possess experience in Trust & Safety, content moderation, or policy enforcement at platform scale, including working with generative AI tools to refine and optimize content review and enforcement workflows.
- Possess experience in utilizing AI tools to develop data dashboards for metrics collection in support of continuous improvement efforts.
- Can analyze complex, ambiguous situations and make well-reasoned, defensible decisions under time pressure.

- Communicate clearly in writing and can translate technical chemistry concepts for diverse audiences, including both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to have
- Subject matter expertise in chemical and explosives defense, security, WMD/CBRNE non-proliferation, or threat-intelligence.

- Proficiency in SQL and/or other data analysis tools to draw insights from large datasets and monitor enforcement workflow health.
- Familiarity with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), scheduled chemicals, precursor controls, and energetic-materials safety frameworks.
What you get

Worth weighing
