About the role

Our mission is to catch AI systems that strategically underperform on evaluations while retaining full capability elsewhere. This role sits at the center of that problem. In this role, you'll design experiments that probe for sandbagging behavior across model checkpoints, building statistical tests that distinguish genuine capability limits from deliberate underperformance. We publish internally and encourage conference submissions — expect your experimental protocols to become part of how the broader safety research community evaluates this behavior.

Fully remote.

Responsibilities

  • Design experiments probing for strategic model underperformance
  • Build statistical tests distinguishing capability limits from sandbagging
  • Run evaluations across multiple model checkpoints and conditions
  • Publish findings internally and support external submissions
  • Collaborate with the interpretability team on shared tooling

Requirements

  • Strong background in ML research, ideally with publications
  • Experience with PyTorch and statistical experiment design
  • Familiarity with reinforcement learning training dynamics
  • Comfortable working on open, unsolved research questions

Benefits

  • Fully remote
  • Research budget and compute allocation
  • Conference and publication support
  • Competitive equity package
