## About the role

We’re looking for a Researcher to lead our safety and alignment research: building the systems that distinguish useful web content from spam, manipulation, and other adversarial or low-quality material. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Deep experience in web spam, search quality, adversarial content detection, or related integrity problems at scale
- Strong applied ML and research skills, with experience developing classifiers, detection methods, and evaluations for real-world systems
- An understanding of how adversaries manipulate content and links, coordinate across sites, and adapt to detection systems
- A track record of independently defining ambiguous technical problems and driving solutions from experimentation through production
- Experience working across research, engineering, and integrity teams while remaining hands-on with technical work
- A first-principles approach to using frontier models and compute, and a strong interest in keeping detection systems effective as adversaries evolve
