Bronze Technologies, Inc.
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/24/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/17/2025

As the leading data and evaluation partner for frontier AI companies, Scale plays an integral role in understanding the capabilities and safeguarding large language models (LLMs). Safety, Evaluations and Alignment Lab (SEAL) is Scale’s frontier research effort dedicated to tackling the challenging research problems in evaluation, red teaming, and alignment of advanced AI systems.

We are actively seeking talented researchers to join us in shaping the landscape for safety and transparency for the entire AI industry. We support collaborations across the industry and academia and the publication of our research findings.

As a Research Scientist working on Scalable Oversight, you will develop and evaluate methods for evaluation and supervision of advanced AI systems. For example, you might do any or all of the following :

  • Design experiments to exemplify failure modes of current supervision protocols for language models
  • Design experiments to simulate expertise and capability gaps between supervisor and model for scalable oversight experiments
  • Develop new supervision protocols and gather human annotations using these protocols
  • Train language models using reinforcement learning, analyzing their behavior and comparing between models

Ideally you’d have :

  • Commitment to our mission of promoting safe, secure, and trustworthy AI deployments in the industry as frontier AI capabilities continue to advance.
  • Practical experience conducting technical research collaboratively, with proficiency in frameworks like Pytorch, Jax, or Tensorflow. You should also be adept at interpreting research literature and quickly turning new ideas into prototypes.
  • A track record of published research in machine learning, particularly in generative AI.
  • At least three years of experience addressing sophisticated ML problems, whether in a research setting or in product development.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to operate in a cross functional team.
  • Nice to have :

  • Hands-on experience with open source LLM fine-tuning or involvement in bespoke LLM fine-tuning projects using Pytorch / Jax.
  • Experience in crafting evaluations or a background in data science roles related to LLM technologies.
  • Experience working with cloud technology stack (eg. AWS or GCP) and developing machine learning models in a cloud environment.
  • Our research interviews are crafted to assess candidates' skills in practical ML prototyping and debugging, their grasp of research concepts, and their alignment with our organizational culture. We will not ask any LeetCode-style questions.
