Requirements

• Ability to make technical tradeoff decisions, ideally with experience working across policy experts, AI/ML research engineers, and software engineering teams to design and build advanced safety systems.
• Strong understanding of how products are used, their safeguards concerns, and how to provide effective solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to build product and engineering strategy across multiple cross-functional teams in a rapidly changing environment.
• Experience designing and building metrics to evaluate risks, system performance, and user impact, and using them to make clear tradeoffs.
• Strong ability to navigate and prioritize rapidly changing product specifications and flex across domains to bring clarity and execute.
• Sound judgment and decision-making skills in ambiguous situations.
• Experience planning, building, launching, and measuring new products or systems in a zero-to-one environment.
• Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences in written and verbal communication.
• Ability to think creatively about the risks and benefits of new technologies and beyond existing checklists and playbooks.
• Five or more years of product management experience, preferably with experience understanding complex problems quickly, building roadmaps with measurable progress, and working with data, detection and intervention systems, infrastructure and tools, and/or evaluations.
• Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience. The field of study should be relevant to the role through coursework, training, or professional experience.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Optional equity donation matching.
• Generous vacation and parental leave.
