At Scale, we are driving the future of AI and Machine Learning across a variety of industries. As the Program Manager for Compliance, you will play a pivotal role in the continued success of Scale. Your role will be instrumental in ensuring the effective operation of our Compliance department and our GRC function, allowing us to maintain the highest standards in our industry. Reporting to the Director & Associate General Counsel, Compliance, you will be a dedicated program manager for Scale's enterprise compliance program and the person who turns policy into practice across anti-bribery and anti-corruption, gifts and entertainment, conflicts of interest, third-party risk and sanctions, policy lifecycle, and company-wide training. This is a hands-on builder, not a maintenance role. You will support Commercial, Public Sector, and international business lines, working closely with Legal, Procurement, Finance, Security, and go-to-market teams. You will: Help build, design, improve, and streamline Scale's core compliance programs, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC), gifts and entertainment, conflicts of interest, and third-party risk and sanctions screening. Collaborate with stakeholders across the company to improve compliance policies, processes, and procedures. Monitor regulatory developments relevant to Scale's business, translate them into concrete policy and process changes, and track compliance obligations flowing out of customer contracts. Partner with leadership to build, mature, and operationalize the company's enterprise risk management (ERM) framework, identifying and assessing key business risks. Build the reporting layer: metrics and periodic reporting that give Legal & GRC leadership a defensible picture of program health. Flex into audit and assurance work during peak certification periods, and own inbound customer and investor compliance diligence questionnaires. Ideally you'd have: 5+ years building or operating ethics and c

Scale Labs, Research Scientist — Frontier Risk Evaluations As the leading data and evaluation partner for frontier AI companies, Scale plays an integral role in understanding the capabilities and safeguarding AI models and systems. Building on this expertise, Scale Labs has launched a new team focused on policy research, to bridge the gap between AI research and global policymakers to make informed, scientific decisions about AI risks and capabilities. Our research tackles the hardest problems in agent robustness, AI control protocols, and AI risk evaluations to help governments, industry, and the public understand and mitigate AI risk while maximizing AI adoption. This team collaborates broadly across industry, the public sector, and academia and regularly publishes our findings. We are actively seeking talented researchers to join us in shaping this vision. As a Research Scientist focused on Frontier Risk Evaluations, you will design and create evaluation measures, harnesses and datasets for measuring the risks posed by frontier AI systems. For example, you might do any or all of the following: Design and build harnesses to test AI models and systems (including agents) for dangerous capabilities such as security vulnerability exploitation, CBRN uplift, and other high-risk activities; Work with government agencies or other labs to collectively scope and design evaluations to measure and mitigate risks posed by advanced AI systems; Publish evaluation methodologies and write technical reports for policymakers. Ideally you’d have: Commitment to our mission of promoting safe, secure, and trustworthy AI deployments in the industry as frontier AI capabilities continue to advance. Practical experience conducting technical research collaboratively. You should be comfortable building and instrumenting ML pipelines, writing evaluation harnesses, and quickly turning new ideas from the research literature into working prototypes. A track record of published research in m

Scale Labs, Research Scientist — Safety Post Training As the leading data and evaluation partner for frontier AI companies, Scale plays an integral role in understanding the capabilities and safeguarding AI models and systems. Building on this expertise, Scale Labs has launched a new team focused on policy research, to bridge the gap between AI research and global policymakers to make informed, scientific decisions about AI risks and capabilities.

This team collaborates broadly across industry, the public sector, and academia and regularly publishes our findings. We are actively seeking talented researchers to join us in shaping this vision. As a Research Scientist working on Safety Post-Training you will develop and apply post-training methods and interpretability techniques to make frontier AI systems safer, and better understood by researchers and policymakers.. For example, you might: Design and run post-training pipelines to study how training choices affect model safety, robustness, and alignment properties; Develop interpretability-informed evaluations that reveal how and why models produce unsafe, deceptive, or otherwise undesirable behaviors, and use those insights to guide targeted mitigations; Collaborate with policymakers, engineers, and other researchers to translate post-training and interpretability findings into actionable safety standards, evaluation benchmarks, and best practices. Ideally you’d have: Commitment to our mission of promoting safe, secure, and trustworthy AI deployments in the industry as frontier AI capabilities continue to advance. Experience with post-training and RL techniques such as RLHF, DPO, GRPO, and similar approaches. A track record of published research in machine learning, particularly in generati
