About the role

Research Engineer role in AIUC Labs at AIUC, focusing on shaping the strategic direction of AI risk and capability, publishing research, and building upstream confidence infrastructure for model releases.

Responsibilities

  • Own the questions that decide the strategic direction of AIUC: where AI capability & risk goes over the next 3-5 years, what replaces evals as agents get more capable, whether models behave differently when they know they are being tested, and how AI shifts the offense–defense balance in security
  • Take confidence infrastructure upstream to the model layer, where independent standards, rigorous evaluation and third-party assurance have to meet the release decisions labs are making now
  • Turn what AIUC has actually done into evidence, publish research and shape our public research programme, including the podcast and writing, that increases our influence in the space

Qualifications

  • You’re a strong engineer, and can design and independently build, debug, and maintain research code and experiment pipelines
  • You can read an ML paper and implement it quickly, and extend or adapt it to a new research question
  • You can iterate and experiment quickly, such as working through an ambiguous open-ended question and turning into a tractable experiment, choosing baselines, and investigating unexpected details, as well as deciding what comes next
  • You have a strong background in ML, CS, or an adjacent quantitative field, developed through a combination of engineering and research
