About the role

As the leading data and evaluation partner for frontier AI companies, Scale plays an integral role in understanding the capabilities and safeguarding large language models (LLMs). Safety, Evaluations and Alignment Lab (SEAL) is Scale's frontier research effort dedicated to tackling the challenging research problems in evaluation, red teaming, and alignment of advanced AI systems. We are actively seeking talented researchers to join us in shaping the landscape for safety and transparency for the entire AI industry. We support collaborations across the industry and academia and the publication of our research findings. As a Research Scientist focused on Frontier Risk Evaluations, you will design and create evaluation measures, harnesses and datasets for measuring the risks posed by frontier AI systems. For example, you might do any or all of the following: Design and build harnesses to test AI agents for dangerous capabilities such as hacking or exploiting security vulnerabilities; Develop and run human-in-the-loop tests of AI capabilities to deceive, manipulate, blackmail, or otherwise engage in social engineering; Work with government agencies or other labs to collectively scope and design evaluations to measure and mitigate risks posed by advanced AI systems.
