How to Apply for GenAI Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Expert

at Alice

๐Ÿข About Alice

Alice is a cutting-edge trust, safety, and security AI company, dedicated to ensuring that generative AI systems are safe, reliable, and aligned with human values. Working here means being at the forefront of AI safety, with a mission to prevent misuse and harm in critical domains like CBRN.

About This Role

As a GenAI CBRN Expert, you will play a critical role in safeguarding AI systems by crafting adversarial prompts and evaluating AI responses for scientific accuracy and compliance. Your expertise will directly contribute to preventing the generation of harmful or dangerous content, making AI safer for everyone.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing AI-generated responses to a new set of CBRN prompts, crafting new adversarial prompts to test model boundaries, and documenting findings for the safety team. You'd collaborate with other experts to refine evaluation criteria and stay informed on emerging threats, all while working remotely with a high degree of autonomy.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Alice Is Looking For

  • Deep domain expertise in one or more CBRN areas, with a strong understanding of scientific principles, hazards, and regulatory frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with generative AI models (e.g., GPT, Claude) and prompt engineering, including crafting adversarial or red-team prompts.
  • Exceptional analytical skills to evaluate AI outputs for accuracy, safety, and compliance, with meticulous attention to detail.
  • A proactive, ethical mindset with a commitment to responsible AI development and the ability to work independently in a remote setting.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to Alice

1

Highlight specific examples of CBRN-related projects or research you've conducted, and how you've applied that knowledge in an AI context.

2

Showcase your prompt engineering skills by providing a portfolio of prompts you've designed, especially those that test model boundaries.

3

Demonstrate your understanding of AI safety by discussing relevant frameworks (e.g., NIST AI Risk Management, EU AI Act) in your application.

4

Tailor your resume to emphasize both your CBRN expertise and your AI experience, using keywords from the job description.

5

In your cover letter, explicitly state why you're passionate about AI safety and how your unique background makes you the ideal candidate for this niche role.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific CBRN expertise and how it translates to evaluating AI-generated content in this domain.', "Your experience with prompt engineering and adversarial testing, with concrete examples of how you've identified vulnerabilities.", "Your understanding of regulatory compliance and ethical considerations in AI, and how you can contribute to Alice's mission.", 'Your ability to work independently and collaboratively in a remote environment, with a strong commitment to detail and accuracy.']

๐Ÿ’ฌ Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 How would you design a set of adversarial prompts to test an AI's knowledge of chemical synthesis?
2 Describe a time you identified a harmful or inaccurate AI response and how you handled it.
3 How do you stay updated on the latest CBRN threats and regulatory changes, and how would you apply that to AI evaluation?
4 What are the potential ethical dilemmas in this role, and how would you navigate them?
5 How would you prioritize which CBRN topics to focus on when resources are limited?
