Member of Technical Staff - Imagine Safety

Details

The Imagine team is redefining AI-driven media experiences for Grok users worldwide. As a Product Safety Engineer, you will build safety systems and infrastructure for multimodal generation capabilities, including images, video, and audio. You will design safeguards, detection systems, and evaluation frameworks that prevent harm while preserving creativity and user freedom.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable safety systems for Grok’s media generation platform, including real-time content moderation, risk detection, and safeguard enforcement for images, video, and audio.
• Build infrastructure to measure, monitor, and mitigate risks such as harmful content, bias, deepfakes, intellectual property issues, and misuse at global scale.
• Develop tools, pipelines, and evaluation frameworks that enable rapid iteration on safety policies in collaboration with research, product, and policy teams.
• Architect feedback loops between user interactions, model outputs, and training data to continuously improve safety while maintaining high performance and low latency.
• Own the full-cycle development of safety features, from problem definition and prototyping through deployment, monitoring, incident response, and long-term refinement.
• Partner with Imagine engineering, research, and product teams to embed safety into core features and deliver responsible user experiences.

Requirements

• Proficiency in Rust, with a strong track record of writing clean, efficient, maintainable, and scalable code.
• Experience designing and building production safety, trust and safety, or content moderation systems for consumer-facing products at scale.
• Hands-on expertise developing real-time detection systems, data pipelines, or evaluation frameworks for high-throughput AI applications.
• Proven ability to deliver robust, reliable solutions serving millions of users while maintaining high standards of uptime and performance.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for turning complex safety challenges into practical, high-impact engineering solutions.
• Deep enthusiasm for responsible AI development and a commitment to protecting users.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience with multimodal content safety involving images, video, audio, or generative AI safety in production environments.
• Familiarity with machine learning classifiers, safety evaluation, red-teaming, or adversarial testing for media generation models.
• Background in distributed systems, real-time inference serving, Kubernetes, observability tools, or large-scale data infrastructure.
• Experience collaborating across engineering, research, and policy teams to ship safety-critical features.
• Previous work in content moderation, anti-abuse, model alignment, or responsible AI for consumer AI products.
