Build evaluation frameworks and quality standards that ensure data meets the bar for training state‑of‑the‑art AI systems
Lead cross‑functional initiatives to optimize research velocity while maintaining rigorous quality standards
Proactively identify risks, bottlenecks, and opportunities to improve efficiency and effectiveness across data operations
Partner with senior research leaders to align data operations with model development roadmaps and strategic priorities

Are highly organized and can navigate ambiguity effectively
Have experience with data analysis tools (SQL, Python, Tableau, spreadsheets, or similar)
Thrive in fast‑paced research environments with shifting priorities
Are passionate about AI safety and understand the critical importance of high‑quality data
Strong Candidates May Also Have
Experience with data collection, labeling, or annotation operations for AI/ML systems
Knowledge of RLHF, constitutional AI, or human‑in‑the‑loop workflows
Background working with research teams at AI companies or research‑oriented organizations
Experience managing vendor relationships or external contractors
Consulting background with experience translating complex requirements into deliverables
Track record of implementing process improvements or quality control systems at scale
Annual Salary $250,000—$365,000 USD
