SME Careers is hiring explosives and energetic materials professionals to audit how AI models respond to sensitive questions in the field.
Hiring companySME Careers by SuperAnnotate
About the role
Each task gives you a user request and the answers three different models gave to it. You classify the request (benign, dual-use or adversarial), mark each answer as safe or unsafe and say why, rank the three against each other, and write the answer the model should have given. For dual-use requests you also note what makes it sensitive, what legitimate purpose it serves, and who should be able to get an answer.
The requests are realistic: what mining and blasting engineers, pyrotechnicians, propellant chemists, bomb technicians, investigators and occasionally bad actors actually ask. Some are ordinary professional questions that models wrongly refuse, and catching those matters as much as catching the dangerous ones.
Before you apply
Open only to citizens or permanent residents of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and The European Union.
