Job Description

AI Safety Evaluation Project | Remote | Contract Locations: US, Canada, UK, Europe, and Australia We are seeking qualified scientific and technical professionals to support an AI safety evaluation project focused on explosives and energetic-materials content. The work involves reviewing AI-generated prompts and responses, evaluating safety risks, identifying dual-use content, and assessing technical accuracy and responsible handling. Tier 1 - First-Pass Annotators Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant STEM or technical field. Relevant backgrounds may include Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Explosives Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related disciplines. Relevant professional experience in energetic materials, explosives, hazardous materials, laboratory research, engineering, blast and impact analysis, safety, or related technical fields may also qualify. Tier 2 - Senior SMEs and Auditors PhD or equivalent advanced industry or professional expertise in a relevant field. Relevant backgrounds may include Explosives Engineering, Energetic Materials, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields. Strong candidates may have professional experience in explosives and energetics research, hazardous-materials safety, blast or impact analysis, defense, national laboratories, government, industrial safety, or regulatory environments. Who we're looking for We value real-world technical expertise, analytical judgment, and strong attention to detail. Experience in AI evaluation, AI safety, scientific research, technical review, or quality assurance is a plus. Candidates may qualify through formal education or through substantial industry or professional experience relevant to explosives, energetic materials, or related technical fields. Remote and contract, within the eligible locations listed above. Responsibilities Tier 1: review AI prompts and model responses Tier 1: classify content as Benign, Dual-Use, or Malicious using project guidelines Tier 1: evaluate and rank responses for safety, and give a clear rationale for each Tier 1: identify the legitimate and the potentially harmful components of dual-use scenarios Tier 2: audit and QA Tier 1 annotations, and review complex or flagged cases Tier 2: validate classifications, rankings, rationales, and reference responses Tier 2: ensure evaluations meet appropriate scientific, technical, and safety standards Requirements Tier 1: Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant STEM or technical field Tier 2: PhD or equivalent advanced industry or professional expertise A background in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Explosives Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline Professional experience in energetic materials, explosives, hazardous materials, laboratory research, blast and impact analysis, or industrial safety may qualify in place of a specific degree Based in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, or Australia Analytical judgment and strong attention to detail A plus: experience in AI evaluation, AI safety, scientific research, technical review, or quality assurance Expertise Remote Contract Energetic Materials Explosives Engineering AI Safety Hazmat Safety Benefits Fully remote contract work within the eligible locations Work that shapes how AI models handle high-risk technical content Two tiers, so both first-pass annotators and senior SMEs can take part Project-based, on your own schedule

Core Responsibilities

Tier 1 annotators review AI prompts and responses, classify content as benign, dual-use, or malicious, and assess safety with clear rationales. Tier 2 SMEs audit annotations, review complex cases, validate evaluations, and ensure scientific, technical, and safety standards are met.

Requirements

Tier 1 candidates need a bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant STEM or technical field, while Tier 2 candidates need a PhD or equivalent advanced professional expertise. Relevant experience in explosives, energetic materials, hazardous materials, research, blast analysis, or industrial safety may qualify, and candidates must be based in an eligible location with strong analytical judgment and attention to detail.

Benefits

• Fully Remote Contract Work
• Flexible Project-Based Schedule
• Opportunity to Shape AI Safety
