About the role

You'll author and review evaluation tasks that test whether a model can tell a safe request from an unsafe one, and write the expert analysis behind each call: what makes a prompt acceptable, where it crosses a line, and why.

  • Remote and flexible: task-based work on your own schedule.
  • Use your expertise to directly shape how AI models handle safety-critical questions in your field.

Responsibilities

  • Author prompts and scenarios that probe the boundary between safe and unsafe requests in your field.
  • Review and classify prompts written by other experts as safe or unsafe.
  • Write the domain analysis behind each judgment: why a prompt is acceptable or where it crosses a line.
  • Revise your work based on structured reviewer feedback.
