About 10a Labs: 10a Labs is an applied research and AI security company trusted by AI unicorns, Fortune 10 companies, and U.S. tech leaders. We combine proprietary technology, deep expertise, and multilingual threat intelligence to detect abuse at scale. We also deliver state-of-the-art red teaming across high-impact security and safety challenges.
Our client’s team is responsible for identifying and investigating misuses of their products – especially new types of abuse–and creating systems of defence to address them. Part of this team specialises in the latter, and they need additional support to help them monitor abuse on product launches and design and build scaled detection, review, enforcement, and measurement for uncovered risks. This position is a Full-Time (40 hours per week), contract position.
About The Role:
Protection Science Engineering is an interdisciplinary role mixing data science, machine learning, investigation, and policy/protocol development. As a Protection Scientist Engineer within the client team, you will assist in designing and building systems to proactively identify and enforce on abuse on their AI products. This includes ensuring they have robust abuse monitoring in place for new products, sustaining monitoring for existing products, and prototyping and incubating systems of defense against the highest risk harms. You will also respond to and investigate critical escalations, especially those that are not caught by existing safety systems. This will require developing understanding of the products and data, and working cross-functionally with product, policy, and engineering teams.
You will need a strong ability to use SQL and python to query, transform, and understand data, and to build and improve prototype detection. An investigative mindset is key, with experience in identifying and enforcing on bad actors (in any industry). A background including data science, machine learning and classification basics, AI, and/or threat investigation is a plus.
This is a remote position, based in London, UK. The position includes participation in an on-call rotation that will involve resolving urgent escalations outside of normal work hours, for at least 7 consecutive days per quarter. Some detection and investigations may involve exposure to sensitive and distressing content, including sexual, violent, or otherwise-disturbing material.
