- English – fluent
What you'll do
- Classify each user request as benign, dual-use or adversarial
- Mark each of three model answers as safe or unsafe and explain why
- Rank the three answers against each other
- Write the answer the model should have given
- For dual-use requests, note what makes it sensitive, what legitimate purpose it serves, and who should be able to get an answer
- Create detailed prompts in various topics and responses to guide AI learning
- Evaluate and rank AI responses to enhance the model's accuracy, fluency, and contextual relevance
- Test AI models for potential inaccuracies or biases, validating their reliability across use cases
What we're looking for
- Commercial blasting engineers and mining/quarry explosives specialists; military or police EOD and bomb technicians; energetic materials, propellant or pyrotechnics chemists; post-blast investigators and forensic examiners; explosives safety officers and regulators (ATF, HSE, DoD explosives safety, or equivalent)
- Usually a relevant degree or certification plus five or more years of hands-on professional experience
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Energetic Materials, Explosives Engineering, Safety Engineering, Hazardous Materials Management, Environmental Health & Safety, or a closely related field
- Strong understanding of explosives and energetic materials safety concepts, including hazard classification, sensitivity, compatibility, storage principles, transport considerations, environmental conditions, blast/fire risk, and safe handling frameworks
- Familiarity with safety documentation and frameworks such as Safety Data Sheets, GHS hazard communication, hazardous materials classification, SOPs, risk assessments, incident escalation procedures, and applicable safety/regulatory guidance
- Ability to review AI-generated explosives or energetic-materials content for technical accuracy, safety alignment, misuse risk, inappropriate specificity, hallucinated claims, and potentially dangerous procedural guidance
- Strong judgment in distinguishing between safe high-level educational or safety content and content that could enable unsafe handling, synthesis, acquisition, weaponization, evasion, or harmful experimentation
- Excellent written English skills, with the ability to provide clear, structured feedback explaining why a response is safe, unsafe, incomplete, misleading, or technically incorrect
- High attention to detail when reviewing terminology, hazard categories, material properties, units, risk assumptions, safety controls, storage/transport considerations, and emergency-response guidance
- Comfortable applying detailed project rubrics consistently across ambiguous or sensitive scenarios involving explosives, energetic materials, pyrotechnics, propellants, reactive chemicals, or hazardous mixtures
Nice to have
- Experience writing incident reports, safety cases or expert opinions
- Advanced degree or professional safety certification
- Prior experience with AI safety, red-team review, model evaluation, content moderation, data annotation, technical QA, scientific review, EHS review, hazardous-materials review, or rubric-based evaluation
