Requirements
- Strong Python and general software-engineering skills.
- Experience working with language models, agentic systems, or model evaluations.
- Ability to turn an underspecified research question into a reliable experimental setup.
- Strong engineering practices, particularly around reproducibility, testing, observability, and data integrity.
- Ability to investigate unexpected results across both the model and the surrounding infrastructure.
- Clear technical writing and communication skills.
- Comfort working in an early-stage environment where requirements and research directions evolve.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and run evaluations of misalignment and loss-of-control risks in frontier models.
- Build realistic agent environments, scaffolds, and tool integrations for studying behaviour under increasing autonomy.
- Develop infrastructure for long-horizon experiments involving many model calls, actions, tools, and environment states.
- Own experimental reliability and reproducibility across model access, sampling, configuration, environment management, logging, and analysis.
- Work with research scientists to turn open-ended questions into tractable experiments, and identify cases where an apparent model behaviour is actually an artefact of the evaluation.
- Build tools for inspecting and analysing large collections of model trajectories and comparing behaviour across models and experimental conditions.
- Contribute experimental methodology, infrastructure, and technical analysis directly to published research.
