I'm working with a well-funded, early-stage stealth AI lab building genuinely frontier systems - and they're hiring a Machine Learning Engineer focused on safety.

The mission: make advanced AI systems reliable, controllable, and aligned as their capabilities grow. This is hands-on, unsolved-problem work at the edge of what's possible.

You might be a fit if you have

Strong ML engineering skills and hands-on experience with LLMs / foundation models

Work in one or more of: post-training (SFT/RL/RLHF), evals, red-teaming, alignment, or safety infrastructure

A bias toward shipping and owning problems end-to-end in an ambiguous environment

Real interest in the hard problems of frontier AI safety
