Full Job Posting

Requirements

  • Essential:
  • Experience in trust & safety, online harms, or a closely related field such as violence prevention, safeguarding, or public health, and the ability to adapt that knowledge to AI systems.
  • Curiosity about AI and the ability to build technical fluency quickly, enough to engage credibly with technical counterparts at AI companies. Much of this work is new, so comfort learning as you go matters more than existing AI safety expertise.
  • Experience designing research, evaluation frameworks, or interventions for harm categories such as violent extremism, CSEA, self-harm and crisis, or targeted violence.
  • Demonstrated experience managing projects, teams, budgets, partners, and clients, with strong people management skills.
  • Excellent written communication, with experience producing credible (not promotional) material for government, foundation, or enterprise audiences.
  • Comfort and demonstrated resilience working with highly sensitive or graphic content (CSEA, extremist material, crisis content), with awareness of wellbeing practices for this kind of work.
  • Strong judgment and the ability to navigate ambiguity, competing priorities, and sensitive stakeholder environments, including representing organizations externally.
  • Willingness to travel and work outside regular hours where needed to accommodate clients or respond to incidents.
  • Highly trustworthy, with discretion and diplomacy, and willing to undertake relevant security clearance procedures.
  • Experience supporting business development, grant funding, or procurement.
  • Commitment to Moonshot's mission.
  • Candidates must be eligible to work in the US, and will be required to undertake and pass any relevant security clearance procedures per client needs.
  • Desirable:
  • Direct experience in model safety, red teaming, or adversarial evaluation of LLMs or other AI systems.
  • Understanding of LLM architecture, safety tooling, or trust & safety policy.
  • Prior experience in child safety evaluation, teen-safety product work, or grooming and CSEA detection.
  • Familiarity with government or regulatory engagement, such as briefing officials or supporting policy submissions.
  • Experience with intervention or diversion program design that can transfer to AI-mediated interventions.
  • Academic or applied background in radicalization studies, forensic psychology, or violence risk assessment.
  • Familiarity with taxonomy or classifier development, including how testing data feeds a classifier.

Benefits

  • 15 days paid vacation leave, plus Federal holidays and 1 day additional paid leave for Native American Heritage Day.
  • Flexible public holiday policy with the option to work federal holidays in exchange for a day off at another time.
  • Full private healthcare package, including coverage for partners and children.
  • Dental & Vision Insurance.
  • Life & Disability Insurance.
  • 24/7 access to free counseling via our Employee Assistance Program.
  • 3% matched 401k contributions.
  • 401(k) Roth Contributions.
  • Generous maternity and paternity leave: 26 weeks paid maternity leave, 8 weeks paid paternity leave.
  • All permanent employees are granted share options upon employment.
  • Salary: $110,000 - $120,000 (depending on skills and experience).
