• Treat policy as an end-to-end, measurable system by testing whether it produces the intended model behavior and diagnosing gaps across policy, data, graders, and safeguards.
• Leverage strong technical judgement to design policies around model behavior that can realistically be trained, measured, and supervised at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain model policies for audio, image, video, and omni-modal behavior.
• Translate theories of harm and threat models into behavioral safety policies, evaluation criteria, grading guidance, and safeguards.
• Identify and analyze safety regressions and failure patterns to identify gaps in existing policies and inform policy iteration.
• Develop policy artifacts that support model training, evaluation, and deployment, including behavior instructions, human-data campaigns, golden sets, and evaluations.
