- Review flagged content to drive enforcement decisions and surface policy gaps, with particular attention to novel or technically sophisticated misuse attempts and emerging tactics
- Support the Safeguards policy design team by providing structured feedback on policy gaps and enforcement ambiguities based on real enforcement scenarios
- Develop and maintain enforcement guidelines and reviewer documentation that enable accurate, consistent enforcement across a wide range of content
- Keep up to date with emerging weapons trends and applications, regulatory changes, and AI policy enforcement best practices, and apply these to inform our workflows and evals
- Identify and elevate emerging misuse patterns, novel attack vectors, and signs of coordinated violent activity
