About the role
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.

What they’re looking for
Select a requirement to inspect fit, evidence or application context.
- Demonstrated ability to design, build and run ML experiments on frontier models, and to work autonomously on complex research projects involving substantial engineering. This includes black-box work (API-based evaluations and attacks) and ideally some white-box work (e.g. fine-tuning open-weight models).
- Strong software engineering and ML experience: writing clean, documented, reusable code for machine learning experiments — beyond one-off research scripts — including experience with LLM finetuning and inference frameworks, or evaluation frameworks like Inspect.
- The ability to understand and critique how an experiment does and does not support a safety claim – including an understanding of why AI safety and control are hard problems, or a clear appetite to get up to speed fast.
- Impact-driven mindset and a collaborative team player: motivated by the work that most reduces risk rather than what is superficially impressive, flexible about what needs doing, and high velocity with a high-quality bar for outputs.
