We're looking for a safety researcher to join TypeSafe, get increasingly quiet in meetings, and quit about six weeks later because they're disturbed by what they've seen. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build evals and investigate model behavior that concerns you. - Ask “should we?” in meetings scheduled to discuss “how soon?” - Keep a document that starts as “Initial observations” and ends as “For the record.” - Write a departure post that makes people concerned enough to share it, despite containing almost no information.
WHAT YOU BRING - A strong research background in AI safety, alignment, interpretability, or model evaluation. - Experience raising concerns calmly, then in writing. - The ability to say “I can't discuss specifics” and somehow make things worse. - A sincere belief that you can change things from the inside. We'll need that for the first two weeks. YOUR FIRST (AND ONLY) SIX WEEKS - Weeks 1–2: Get set up, meet the team, and tell your friends the work is fascinating. - Weeks 3–4: Request additional access.
Receive it. Stop telling friends about work. - Weeks 5–6: Write a long internal memo. Take a walk. Decide you won't be coming back on Monday. You'll be working with people you'll later describe as “some of the most talented people I've ever worked with.” To apply, submit a draft of your eventual resignation post. You may omit specifics.
