AI Policy Specialist – Violence & Fiction Team

Core Responsibilities

As an AI Policy Specialist on the Violence & Fiction team, you will evaluate user requests and AI model responses involving violence, weapons, threats, and dark fiction within the full conversation context. Your role is to:

• Distinguish between fictional, educational, historical, or defensive violence and requests that seek real-world uplift or express real intent to harm.
• Assess whether a model’s response provides meaningful real-world capability, regardless of framing.
• Identify ambiguous cases (e.g., torture scenes in thrillers vs. interrogation manuals, venting vs. threats) and classify them defensibly with clear rationales.
• Write adversarial or borderline prompts to test model boundaries.
• Raise policy gaps, contradictions, and emerging edge cases to leads and teams.
• Participate in calibration discussions and challenge interpretations respectfully.
• Maintain consistency and accuracy across repetitive, feedback-driven evaluations.

Key Qualifications

You may be a fit if you have:

• Deep expertise in violent fiction (writing, game design, screenwriting, editing) or real-world violence (military, law enforcement, EMS, emergency medicine).
• Experience in crisis counseling, threat assessment, or trust and safety to distinguish intent from action.
• A strong ability to audit reasoning and separate personal views from policy standards.
• Experience with AI evaluation, red teaming, or content moderation (helpful but not required).

Nice-to-Have

• Published work in violent fiction, games, or media.
• Military/law enforcement or crisis intervention training.
• Firearms/martial arts experience as an instructor or professional.
• Prior AI evaluation (e.g., RLHF, ChatGPT/Gemini assessment).

Sensitive-Content Notice

This role involves regular engagement with graphic material (violence, threats, self-harm, abuse). Work is structured with exposure limits, mental health support, and professional guidelines. Candidates must sustain judgment and consistency while handling difficult content.
