Engineering Manager, Safeguards Interventions

Overview

Engineering Manager for the Safeguards Interventions team, responsible for what happens when a safety system fires and for evolving intervention quality so products can be deployed safely.

What you'll do

• Lead and grow a team of engineers and drive roadmap, OKRs, and execution.
• Coordinate cross-functional work with ML Infra, Research, Product, Policy, and Legal, plus cloud partners for third-party deployment.
• Define shipping criteria for interventions using measurement and communicate safety/product tradeoffs.
• Own production reliability for intervention and compliance systems, including incident response and postmortems.
• Manage SLOs and verification processes to prevent repeat incidents.

What you'll need

• Have managed engineering teams shipping production ML or safety-enforcement systems affecting users.
• Have run high-stakes, compliance-adjacent production systems and be comfortable with on-call and incidents.
• Have experience with regulator-driven requirements and building process scaffolding to prevent recurrence.
• Have built or insisted on evaluation (evals) that prove systems do what they claim.
• Be able to drive ambiguous, multi-stakeholder tradeoffs (safety vs UX vs latency vs cost) and own outcomes.
• Care deeply about AI safety and want your team’s work to enable deployment of advanced models.

Details

• Hybrid work: expected to be in an office at least 25% of the time.
