📝 Tips for Applying to Alice
Highlight specific examples of red-teaming or risk assessments you've conducted on AI models or biological systems, quantifying impact where possible.
Showcase your prompt engineering skills by including a portfolio or detailed examples of complex prompts you've crafted to test LLM safety.
Emphasize any experience with biosecurity governance frameworks (e.g., BWC, IAP) and how you've applied them in a practical setting.
Tailor your resume to include keywords from the job description like 'dual-use risks', 'adversarial red-teaming', and 'safety guardrails' to pass ATS.
In your cover letter, directly connect your biosecurity expertise to the AI safety mission of Alice, demonstrating you understand the unique intersection.
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
- Deeply explain why your biological expertise is essential for AI safety, and how you've previously identified dual-use risks. - Detail your experience with prompt engineering and LLM evaluation, providing concrete examples of how you've stress-tested models. - Show your knowledge of biosecurity governance and your proactive approach to staying updated on emerging threats. - Express genuine passion for Alice's mission and describe how your skills align with their trust, safety, and security focus.
Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:
- → Explore Alice's website and any public materials to understand their specific safety frameworks and tools, such as their approach to trust and safety.
- → Read recent publications or blog posts from Alice's team on AI safety and biosecurity to understand their perspective and current focus areas.
- → Research the broader landscape of AI biosecurity, including initiatives like the Coalition for Secure AI or recent policy discussions, to show you're engaged.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Avoid generic AI safety experience without concrete biosecurity knowledge—this role requires deep biological expertise, so don't overstate unrelated skills.
- Don't underestimate the importance of prompt engineering; failing to demonstrate practical LLM evaluation skills will weaken your application.
- Avoid a static understanding of biosecurity; show you are actively following emerging threats and governance changes, not just textbook definitions.
