About the role

Role within Google’s Trust and Safety operations and Intel Analysis team focused on identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing threats related to model behavior, deception, emerging AI capabilities, and safety risks. Interfaces with policy, enforcement, and safety researchers to surface trends, forecast risks, and inform mitigation and launch readiness.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain current, company-wide view of material risks across products and modalities, mapping each to owners, mitigations, and remaining gaps, run regular cross-functional reviews of signals from investigations, evaluations, red teaming, user reports, external research, public incidents, and the policy landscape.
  • Connect incidents and weak signals to broader trends, distinguish genuine misalignment from misattributed failures and hype, and produce quick-turn and strategic assessments, with clear confidence levels and recommendations, for a variety of stakeholders.
  • Assess how new capabilities and deployment surfaces affect risk, contribute real-world evidence to safety cases, escalate unowned or under-mitigated risks, and track residual risk after launch.
  • Bring real-world signals into their priorities and turn their findings into taxonomies, threat models, and mitigations with clear owners.
  • Build AI-assisted workflows that automate research monitoring and signal triage, so analyst time concentrates on judgment-heavy work.

Qualifications

  • 7 years of experience in AI safety or alignment research, AI policy or governance, model evaluations or red teaming, trust and safety, intelligence or threat analysis, or risk analysis.
