What you need

  • Ability to work remotely on GMT and must be geographically located in the UK
  • Quantitative and coding background, including statistics/metrics and proficiency in python and SQL
  • Experience in identifying (and ideally enforcing on) bad actors with scaled tooling
  • Ability to be on-call approximately once a quarter that will involve resolving urgent escalations outside of normal work hours, including occasional evenings and weekends
  • Ability to rapidly context switch across domains, modalities, and abuse areas, to include high severity areas like violent activities and child safety
  • Excited to work in a fast paced, ambiguous, and purposeful space with high impact across users and beyond, and to learn quickly.

Nice to have

  • Background in machine learning and classification, especially on novel or poorly understood behaviours
  • Experience scaling and automating processes, especially with language models
  • Experience working with scaled labellers or reviewers, particularly at scale
  • Familiarity with one of the following topics/areas: AI safety, child safety, abuse by nation state and other malicious actors, digital mental health, fraud abuse, radicalization/persuasion/grooming; hateful activities and groups.

Worth weighing

  • Participation in an on-call rotation that involves resolving urgent escalations outside of normal work hours
  • Some detection and investigations may involve exposure to sensitive and distressing content, including sexual, violent, or otherwise-disturbing material.
