Engineering Manager, Interventions & AI Safety

United States Digital Space LLC; San Francisco (CA); Hybrid; USD 405,000 - 485,000; Full time

Job summary

United States Digital Space LLC is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Interventions team responsible for what happens when a safety system fires. You will own the composable arsenal of interventions across all surfaces, ensuring safe deployment of models and products.

You will drive cross‑functional work with ML Infra, Research, Product, Policy, and Legal, and set ship readiness through measurement and safety/product tradeoffs.

Qualifications

• Have managed engineering teams shipping production ML or safety‑enforcement systems where the system's decisions directly affected users.
• Have run high‑stakes, compliance‑adjacent production systems: on‑call, incidents, regulator‑driven requirements, and building the process scaffolding that prevents recurrence.
• Care about measurement: you've built (or insisted on) the evals that prove a system does what it claims, and you've killed things that didn't.
• Can drive ambiguous, multi‑stakeholder tradeoffs (safety vs UX vs latency vs cost) to a decision and own the outcome.
• Care deeply about AI safety and want your team's work to be the reason advanced models can be deployed at all.

Responsibilities

• Hands‑on lead and grow a team of engineers; own roadmap, OKRs, and execution.
• Drive cross‑functional work with ML Infra, Research, Product, Policy, and Legal - and with cloud partners for 3P deployment.
• Set the bar for when an intervention is good enough to ship - backed by measurement - and represent safety and product tradeoffs to leadership and external stakeholders.
• Own production reliability for intervention and compliance systems: incident response, postmortems, SLOs, and the verification processes that prevent repeat incidents.
