• Partner with Safety Systems researchers and policy teams to understand workflows and translate requirements into product solutions
• Build full-stack experiences for data labeling, failure case analysis, and insight generation
• Optimize applications for usability, speed, and scalability to reduce time-to-fix for safety issues
• Transform successful internal safety workflows into external-facing products for developers
• Support model policy workflows and safety iteration cycles

What they're looking for

• JavaScript and React
• Backend development (Python preferred)
• Relational databases (Postgres/MySQL)
• Full-stack web development
• 5+ years product engineering experience
• Interest in AI/ML
• Cross-functional collaboration
