- Build custom RL-style environments and experimental testbeds for interpretability research
- Develop tools for activation tracing and mechanistic interpretability
- Implement probes to detect latent concepts (e.g., deception, goals, uncertainty)
- Prototype activation-level steering methods beyond prompting or fine-tuning
- Collaborate with researchers to rapidly iterate on experiments and tooling
Qualifications
- Strong programming skills in Python
- Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX
- Experience working with deep learning models or LLMs
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and ability to build experimental ML systems
Preferred Skills
- Experience in mechanistic interpretability or alignment research
- Familiarity with reinforcement learning environments
- Background working with model internals, representations, or probing methods
- Research experience (PhD preferred but not required)
