Technical Editor

Description

The company is a public benefit corporation based in San Francisco. Its mission is to build AI systems that are reliable, interpretable and steerable, and that are safe and beneficial for users and society. The team is growing quickly and includes researchers, engineers, policy experts and business leaders.

The Editorial Publishing team is hiring someone to write, edit and review the material the company publishes about its own systems, such as model cards, risk reports, safety and security reports and other technical documents. The work involves describing model behavior, training environments, evaluation methods and their limitations in a way that both technical experts and general readers can follow. You would work across teams including Alignment, Interpretability, Safeguards, Policy and Legal, producing rigorous reports on tight timelines. The role suits someone who can bring clarity and structure to complex writing with many stakeholders.

The company treats AI research as an empirical science closer to physics and biology than to traditional computer science. Researchers work as one cohesive team on a few large-scale efforts, hold frequent research discussions, and value communication skills.

• Write and edit public technical reports and blog posts.
• Take pieces from first draft through to publication on short deadlines.
• Gather input from partner teams across the company while keeping the narrative clear.

• Ability to work with subject matter experts to understand technical concepts and check factual claims.
• Sound judgement on weaving legal, policy and reputational considerations into the work.
• Comfort owning work in a fast-moving environment where processes are still forming.
• Preferred: experience writing or editing safety or security reports, postmortems, transparency reports or similar public disclosures.
• Preferred: experience as a technical writer or editor at a technology company or research lab.
• Preferred: comfort working in a content management system and publishing web content.
• Preferred: experience using AI tools such as Claude to streamline editorial work.

Hybrid work: staff are currently expected in an office at least 25% of the time, and some roles may require more.

Visa sponsorship is available, but not for every role or candidate. If an offer is made, the company will make every reasonable effort to obtain a visa and retains an immigration lawyer to help.

The company encourages applications from people who do not meet every listed qualification, particularly those from underrepresented groups, and values a range of perspectives on the team.

Recruiters contact candidates only from company's site addresses, and may occasionally work through vetted agencies that say they act for the company. Recruiters never ask for money, fees or banking details before your first day. If unsure, check open roles directly on the careers site rather than clicking links.
