AI Evaluation, AI Engineer (Applied/Software)
Work directly with policymakers, civil society partners, and frontier labs to rapidly answer why AI systems act the way they do and when they fail. Execute on Transluce's government-evaluator contracts (including building harmful-manipulation evals with the EU AI Office), design privileged-access oversight exercises with frontier labs, and adapt behavioral-evaluation pipelines to partner contexts (mental health, persuasion, evaluation awareness). Based in San Francisco.
$310K–$500K at a nonprofit is the plot twist of the week — Jacob Steinhardt and Sarah Schwettmann's eval lab pays frontier-lab money for an FDE whose 'customers' are the EU AI Office and civil-society partners, with privileged-access evaluation exercises run inside frontier labs. Deployment work where the deployment target is AI oversight itself.
