AIML – Staff ML Engineer, Responsible AI

Overview

Our team leads Responsible AI initiatives for global generative AI products, operating at the intersection of policy, product, and GenAI. We’re seeking candidates who will shape safety policies in partnership with leadership, design, engineering, legal, and regulatory stakeholders—ensuring our safeguards advance both user protection and product innovation.

These individuals will work on architecture mitigation and safety alignment strategies for generative models, drive integration in production. Additionally, they will work on developing models, tools, datasets, and evaluation methods to monitor, diagnose failures, and improve the safety of generative models throughout the deployment lifecycle. We do all these by incorporating human and automated feedback, post‑launch to continuously improve feature safety and user trust.
