About the role
We’re looking for an engineering manager to lead a team building software systems that detect and prevent harmful misuse of frontier AI models—before incidents occur. This is a builder’s role: you’ll lead engineers shipping production services, detection pipelines, and mitigation mechanisms that protect frontier model integrity and reduce high-severity misuse risk. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
More about this role
The Preparedness Engineering team is responsible for building and operating safeguards for frontier model risks, to safely enable advanced capabilities while detecting and limiting harm.

This is a builder’s role: you’ll lead engineers shipping production services, detection pipelines, and mitigation mechanisms that protect frontier model integrity and reduce high-severity misuse risk.
While this work intersects with frontier model development, security and risk, we’re explicitly seeking someone with a software engineering foundation who is comfortable building reliable systems that can operate at billions of users scale.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
Lead a team of software engineers building detection + mitigation systems for frontier model harms.
Set the technical roadmap and execution strategy: prioritize, design, ship, iterate, measure impact.
Build production systems: services, pipelines,...
