About the Team The Personal AGI team is responsible for training and improving pre-trained models to be deployed into ChatGPT, the API, and potential future products. In the Model Experience team, we shape the default character and behavior of ChatGPT: how the model communicates, responds to users, uses its capabilities, and behaves across different contexts and languages. Our goal is to make every interaction with ChatGPT thoughtful, helpful, and trustworthy. We take an opinionated view of what good human–AI interaction should look like, then turn that vision into real model behavior through human data, evaluations, reward models, and post-training. Our work sits at the intersection of research, product, and model design. We partner closely with teams across OpenAI to conduct research and ensure our models are thoughtful, safe, reliable to serve millions of users.

About the AI Security Institute The AI Security Institute is the world's largest and best-funded team dedicated to understanding advanced AI risks and translating that knowledge into action. We’re in the heart of the UK government with direct lines to No. 10 (the Prime Minister's office), and we work with frontier developers and governments globally. We’re here because governments are critical for advanced AI going well, and UK AISI is uniquely positioned to mobilise them. With our resources, unique agility and international influence, this is the best place to shape both AI development and government action. The deadline for applying to this role is 18th October 2026, end of day, anywhere on Earth. Team Description Risks from misaligned AI systems are growing increasingly important as AI systems become more capable, autonomous, and integrated into society. Understanding these risks and stress-testing mitigations is crucial to ensuring advanced AI systems are developed and deployed safely and beneficially in the future. The Alignment Red Team is a specialised subteam within AISI's wider Red Team focused on detecting and evaluating misalignment in frontier AI systems. We perform novel research to develop techniques for finding misalignment, and pre- and post-deployment evaluations of frontier AI systems to understand loss-of-control risks associated with models, such as deceptive alignment, research sabotage, and reward-seeking. We share our findings with frontier AI companies and the UK and allied governments, to inform their respective deployments, research, and policy-making. We also work directly with safety teams at frontier labs, sharing our evaluation findings to help improve their model alignment training and monitoring methodology. We have conducted pre-deployment testing with multiple frontier AI companies for propensities related to research sabotage , cheating and unsanctioned cyber-attacks . We previously found t

About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role: You want to build and run elegant and thorough machine learning experiments to help us understand and steer the behavior of powerful AI systems. You care about making AI helpful, honest, and harmless, and are interested in the ways that this could be challenging in the context of human-level capabilities. You could describe yourself as both a scientist and an engineer. As a Research Engineer on Alignment Science, you'll contribute to exploratory experimental research on AI safety, with a focus on risks from powerful future systems (like those we would designate as ASL-3 or ASL-4 under our Responsible Scaling Policy ), often in collaboration with other teams including Interpretability, Fine-Tuning, and the Frontier Red Team. Our blog provides an overview of topics that the Alignment Science team is either currently exploring or has previously explored. Our current topics of focus include... Scalable Oversight: Developing techniques to keep highly capable models helpful and honest, even as they surpass human-level intelligence in various domains. AI Control: Creating methods to ensure advanced AI systems remain safe and harmless in unfamiliar or adversarial scenarios. Alignment Stress-testing : Creating model organisms of misalignment to improve our empirical understanding of how alignment failures might arise. Automated Alignment Research: Building and aligning a system that can speed up & improve alignment research. Alignment Assessments : Understanding and documenting the highest-stakes and most concerning emerging properties of models through pre-deployment alignment and
