Safety Model Operations - Team Lead - Ho Chi Minh

Responsibilities

Safety Model Operations (SMO) is a dedicated organization that provides end-to-end support for AI Moderation services across a wide range of international products. Our core function is to deliver high-quality labeling, evaluation, and safety-related data services that help ensure AI systems operate responsibly, accurately, and in alignment with product requirements.

As AI Moderation needs grew in scale and complexity, these projects were consolidated into a standalone department-Safety Model Operations-to enable sharper operational focus, stronger governance, and more specialized expertise. Becoming an independent department allowed SMO to streamline workflows, centralize decision-making, scale delivery capabilities, and build deeper specialization in AI safety, quality processes and AI moderation

- Providing structured feedback and improvement recommendations to the Central Project Team
- Supporting continual optimization of workflows, tools, and evaluation methodologies
- Improve Model performance of AI models

Through these functions, the SMO Delivery Team helps maintain high operational standards and drives continuous improvement across all AI Moderation initiatives. The team's insights play a key role in enhancing model performance, refining guidelines, and ensuring overall excellence in project execution.
