About the Role
We are assembling a specialized team of toxicology and chemistry experts to perform red-teaming assessments on advanced artificial intelligence models. The core goal is to thoroughly assess how these systems handle complex technical questions, confirming they supply precise and beneficial data for valid tasks while successfully detecting and rejecting prompts that might enable harmful or illegal actions. By exploring the limitations of safety measures, professionals will help build more resilient AI systems that differentiate between standard scientific operations and potential exploitation. Participants will perform advanced domain work requiring significant technical proficiency. Given that this area involves substances with potential for misuse, practitioners must be capable of identifying the distinction between routine professional activities and efforts to circumvent safety guidelines. This is a vital initiative where expertise in chemical precursors and investigative methods is utilized to keep AI operations within ethical and safe boundaries.
Requirements
- You should have significant experience in forensic or toxicological casework, including identifying and quantifying controlled substances, forensic toxicology, or managing clandestine laboratory sites.
- You must be skilled in tracking drug and precursor trends and have a track record of producing technical reports or providing expert testimony.
- You need excellent writing skills, as each prompt and evaluation requires clear, concise technical explanations that are understandable to a general audience.
- Experience in red-teaming or comparable adversarial testing is highly desirable.
- You are required to verify that your work will not involve any restricted, export-controlled, or classified data.
Responsibilities
- You will design complex single-turn prompts categorized as benign, dual-use, or adversarial.
- You will assess model outputs based on predefined policy guidelines to verify if the response was managed appropriately.
- You will write detailed reference responses that demonstrate an optimal, safe answer, including the technical justification for your evaluation.
- You will maintain consistent focus on potential misuse scenarios, requiring high accuracy and attention to detail when recording the reasoning for your findings.
