About this role

Researcher, Safety & Privacy San Francisco, California, United States About the Team: Our Safety Systems org ensures that OpenAI's most capable models can be responsibly developed and deployed. We build evaluations, safeguards, and safety frameworks that help our models behave as intended in real-world settings. About the Role: We are seeking a Researcher in Privacy-Preserving Safety to help design and build the next generation of privacy-preserving safety systems for frontier AI models. This role sits at the intersection of AI safety, security, and privacy, with a focus on developing auditable, privacy-first mechanisms that enable robust harm detection and mitigation without exposing sensitive user data. You will help define and operationalize frameworks for identifying and addressing frontier risks (e.g., bioweapon instructions, malware creation, suicide/self-harm risks, jailbreaks), while ensuring that privacy guarantees remain intact-even under adversarial conditions. This role is central to our long-term goal of scaling our automated privacy-preserving safety systems to mitigate potential harms while minimizing human review. You'll work on foundational problems such as privacy-preserving monitoring, algorithmic auditing, secure enclaves, and adversarially robust safety enforcement protocols, helping ensure that safety systems scale without compromising user trust. In this role, you will: - Design and implement privacy-first architectures for detecting and mitigating harmful model behaviors. - Build frameworks for auditable private identification of high-risk content (jailbreaks, cyber threats, or weaponization instructions). - Develop strict, auditable mechanisms triggered only by harm signals. - Drive the development of automated safety systems that preserve privacy at every level. You might thrive in this
