- Work closely with researchers to understand, predict, and shape model behavior, translating design judgment into training data, evaluations, and lasting changes in the models…
- Design how our models collaborate: when to take initiative, when to invite oversight or feedback, and how to earn the trust to act on someone’s behalf over time.
- Build strong, thoughtful defaults that people can reshape around their own knowledge, preferences, and values.
- Partner with research, product, design, and engineering from the earliest questions and prototypes to develop interfaces that widen the channel between people and models…
- Find creative ways to collect high-quality data, especially the tacit, hard-to-articulate knowledge people build through doing real work.
What they're looking for
- Clear communication, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts in writing.
- Demonstrated ability to understand users whose needs and contexts differ from your own, through work across varied populations, domains, or cultures.

- Experience shaping how models approach research, exercise judgment, express uncertainty, or reflect a coherent set of values.
