🏢 About ActiveFence

ActiveFence specializes in Trust & Safety solutions for online platforms, focusing on content moderation and risk detection at scale. Their unique approach combines AI technology with human expertise to combat harmful content, making them a key player in online safety. Working here means contributing directly to making digital spaces safer while engaging with cutting-edge AI systems.

About This Role

This role involves creating and reviewing biology-related prompts for Generative AI systems, specifically testing boundaries around CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) content. You'll evaluate AI responses for scientific accuracy and flag potentially harmful outputs, directly impacting how AI systems handle sensitive biological information. Your work ensures AI models provide accurate, safe biological information while preventing misuse.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves creating specialized biology prompts to test Generative AI systems, then meticulously reviewing AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy. You'll identify and document potential risks, flag harmful content, and collaborate with the Trust & Safety team to refine prompt guidelines. The work balances deep biological expertise with understanding how AI systems process and generate sensitive scientific information.
