Safeguards Enforcement Analyst, Bio Harms

About the role

As an Enforcement Analyst focused on Bio Harms, you will play a critical role in protecting against the misuse of AI systems for biological and related CBRNE harms. You will enforce our Usage Policy with a specific focus on detecting and mitigating bio risks, investigating potential violations, and continuously strengthening our safeguards. The work sits at the intersection of biosecurity threat analysis and platform enforcement: you will read real model interactions and make fast, well‑reasoned calls about whether activity is benign research or a credible attempt at harm.

Important context for the role:
This position may involve exposure to explicit content spanning a range of topics, including material of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature. The role also carries a shared on‑call responsibility across the Policy and Enforcement teams.

• Enforce Usage Policies with a specific focus on detecting and mitigating potential bio risks and harmful use of AI systems.
• Take ownership of enforcement monitoring workflows for the bio‑harms area, improving end‑to‑end detection, investigation, triage, and escalation processes.
• Monitor and analyze platform activity to identify emerging patterns related to biological (and adjacent chemical, radiological, nuclear, and explosive) threats that may require policy updates or enforcement action.
• Design and architect automated enforcement systems and review workflows that scale effectively while maintaining high accuracy across a technically complex content surface.
• Conduct thorough investigations of potential violations, gathering and documenting evidence to support enforcement decisions.
• Proactively surface trends and propose improvements to detection methods and review workflows.
• Partner with Engineering and Data Science teams to optimize detection models and automated enforcement systems for bio‑related policy violations.
• Partner with Policy and Threat Intelligence groups to understand potential exploits and contribute to risk‑assessment frameworks, and partner with engineers iterating on safety systems.
• Provide enforcement‑grounded feedback on policy gaps, and handle escalations and time‑sensitive situations related to potential bio‑related Usage Policy violations.

• Hold a degree in a bio‑related field (e.g., microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, public health) and/or relevant professional experience in a related field.
• Possess experience in Trust & Safety, content moderation, or policy enforcement at platform scale, including working with generative AI tools to refine and optimize content review and enforcement workflows.
• Possess experience in utilizing AI tools to develop data dashboards for metrics collection in support of continuous improvement efforts.
• Can analyze complex, ambiguous situations and make well‑reasoned, defensible decisions under time pressure.
• Are proactive and self‑directed: you spot trends, dig in, and ship improvements on your own initiative.
• Communicate clearly in writing and can translate technical bio concepts for diverse audiences, including both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Subject matter expertise in biodefense, biosecurity, WMD/CBRNE non‑proliferation, or threat‑intelligence.
• An understanding of real‑world biological risk, including adversary intent, acquisition and weaponization pathways, and dual‑use concerns.
• Proficiency in SQL and/or other data analysis tools to draw insights from large datasets and monitor enforcement workflow health.
• Familiarity with dual‑use research of concern (DURC), select agents, and relevant policy frameworks.
