About this role
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 doBuild 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 bringA 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 weeksWeeks 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.
