- Support the Safeguards policy design team by providing structured feedback on policy gaps and enforcement ambiguities based on real enforcement scenarios.
- Develop and maintain enforcement guidelines and reviewer documentation that enable accurate, consistent enforcement across a wide range of content.
- Keep up to date with emerging threats, terrorist and extremist movements, regulatory changes, and AI policy enforcement best practices; apply these to inform workflows and evals.
- Identify and escalate emerging misuse patterns, novel attack vectors, and signs of coordinated violent extremist activity.

## Minimum Qualifications

- Experience standing up and scaling policy enforcement or content review workflows.
- Proficiency in SQL and/or other data analysis tools to draw insights from large datasets and monitor enforcement workflow health.
- Experience identifying emerging risks and threat actors, and communicating findings to diverse stakeholders such as Product, Policy, Engineering, and Legal teams.
- Experience working with generative AI products, including writing effective prompts for content review and enforcement.
- Understanding of the challenges involved in implementing product policies at scale, including in the content moderation space.

- Experience with large language models and an understanding of how AI technology could provide meaningful uplift toward serious harm.
- Proficiency in Python for data analysis and workflow automation.
- Background in law enforcement, national security, defense, counterterrorism, or a relevant regulatory environment.
- Experience assessing the technical plausibility and real-world harm potential of content, including distinguishing between general educational content and genuine operational uplift, and between protected speech and genuine incitement/mobilization.
- Familiarity with cross-platform threat analysis and OSINT techniques.

## Compensation & Logistics
- Annual Salary: $285,000–$330,000 USD
- Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience in a relevant field.
