• Provide detailed feedback to the Safeguards policy design team on policy gaps surfaced through real enforcement scenarios
• Partner with Engineering and Data Science teams by surfacing detection model errors and quality signals from review to improve precision and recall
• Maintain high accuracy and consistency standards across review queues
• Keep up to date with emerging AI policy enforcement best practices, threat actor tactics, and the evolving cyber threat landscape, using these to inform enforcement decisions

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience in cybersecurity, including knowledge of offensive techniques, exploit development, malware analysis, or vulnerability research
• Experience performing content review, abuse investigations, or policy enforcement at volume
• Proficiency in SQL and/or Python for data analysis and threat detection
• Experience identifying emerging risks and communicating findings to a diverse set of stakeholders, such as Product, Policy, Engineering, and Legal teams
• Experience working with generative AI products, including writing effective prompts for content review and enforcement

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in trust & safety, abuse investigations, cybersecurity investigations, or threat intelligence in a technology or AI company
• Experience with large language models and an understanding of how AI technology could be misused for cyber operations
• Experience operating within abuse monitoring programs or enforcement review systems
• Understanding of the challenges involved in implementing product policies at scale, including in the content moderation space
