Responsibilities

As a Model Designer, you’ll shape how our models behave and feel, and how people experience working with them. Working alongside the researchers building these models, you might design: how a model reads intent, when it acts on its own, when it asks, and whether the person comes away sharper than…

  • 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.
  • Several years of experience in a role focused on how people interact with technology, such as product design, UX research, content or conversation design, or model behavior work…

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