at ActiveFence
🏢 About ActiveFence
ActiveFence is a Trust & Safety technology company that provides AI-powered solutions to detect and mitigate harmful online content at scale. What makes them unique is their proactive approach to online safety, using advanced technology to protect platforms from abuse before it spreads. Someone might want to work here because they're at the forefront of combating online harm while working with cutting-edge AI systems.
About This Role
This role involves reviewing and refining AI-generated prompts related to CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) chemistry content to ensure accuracy and safety. You'll be helping train AI systems to properly handle sensitive chemical and biological topics, which is impactful because it prevents the spread of dangerous misinformation and ensures AI tools don't inadvertently facilitate harmful activities.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves reviewing batches of AI-generated chemistry prompts, assessing them for accuracy, safety, and potential misuse. You'll provide detailed feedback on chemical content, flag concerning patterns, and help refine the AI's understanding of CBRN topics. Much of the work is asynchronous, with regular check-ins to discuss findings and improve review guidelines.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who ActiveFence Is Looking For
- Advanced degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or related field with specific expertise in CBRN-relevant chemistry
- Experience with chemical safety protocols, regulatory frameworks, and risk assessment methodologies
- Ability to explain complex chemical concepts clearly for non-technical audiences and AI systems
- Familiarity with how chemical information can be misused online and understanding of red flags in chemical content
