About the role
Key Responsibilities
Own strategy, priorities, and outcomes for the CBRN-E & Advanced Weapons mission area; mature it from an emerging function into a rigorous investigative program.
Hire, manage, and develop a team of investigators with deep domain expertise across biological, chemical, and weapons-development threat areas.
Personally lead investigations into attempts to use our systems to develop, enhance, or disseminate CBRN-E weapons, or advanced weapons capabilities.
Evolve detection from broad harm screens toward CBRN-specific signals and methodologies tailored to dual-use research concerns, in partnership with our collections engineers.
Set the analytic quality bar: cross-platform threat analysis grounded in real threat actor behavior, open-source research, and publicly reported weapons programs.
Own escalation and enforcement decisions with policy and enforcement teams for the highest-severity misuse category we handle.
Lead external engagement with government agencies, biosecurity and chemical-security research communities, and scientific organizations.
Inform safety-by-design and capability-evaluation strategies by forecasting how threat actors will leverage frontier AI for CBRN-E purposes.
Serve as a liaison to government partners, educating stakeholders on AI-enabled threats through regular reporting and briefings.
Minimum Qualifications
Intelligence analyst, policy expert, or researcher with deep domain expertise in biosecurity, chemical defense, weapons non-proliferation, dual-use research of concern (DURC), or related CBRN-E threat domains.
Led investigative or analytic teams; senior domain expert with demonstrated mentorship and program-building experience.
Experience with threat actor profiling, threat intelligence analysis frameworks, and collection frameworks.
Hands-on experience with large language models and how AI could be misused for CBRN-E threats.
Excellent stakeholder management skills across researchers, policy experts, legal teams, government, and external partners.
Can present analytical work to technical and non-technical audiences, including government stakeholders and senior leadership.
Preferred Qualifications
Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in biological sciences, chemistry, biodefense, biosecurity, or a related field.
Real-world experience countering weapons of mass destruction or other high-risk asymmetric threats in the intelligence community or defense organizations.
Experience working with government agencies, defense/national security organizations, or in regulated environments handling sensitive CBRN-E programs, counterproliferation and threat analysis.
Background in AI safety, machine learning security, or technology abuse investigation.
Experience building and scaling threat detection systems or abuse monitoring programs.
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
Location-based hybrid policy: Expect staff in one of our offices at least 25% of the time.
May require responding to escalations during weekends and holidays.
May involve exposure to explicit content of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature.
