758 jobs for "AI Program Manager"

Apple's Responsible AI and Safety team focuses on innovative technologies, methodologies, and research to enable fantastic user experiences and to push the frontier of machine learning. Our team is looking to hire a leader with a strong track record in AI red-teaming and adversarial security research, who is passionate about proactively finding real vulnerabilities in generative AI systems before they reach users.In this role, you will lead a dedicated red-teaming team, building and running an independent program that actively probes Apple Intelligence features for safety and security risks, while upholding Apple's values, privacy, and quality standards.

Description

This role focuses on leading a team that sets its own red-teaming agenda, independent from standard evaluation, and is responsible for actively probing Apple Intelligence features to discover real vulnerabilities rather than measuring known ones. This team is also responsible for building the operating model to support that work: hiring and developing red-teaming engineers with sustained feature ownership, working with a skill crowd workforce paired directly with those engineers, and standing up automated red-teaming capabilities.Leading this function requires clear division of responsibility with adjacent security and evaluation teams, sound judgment on which findings warrant escalation, and the ability to define success criteria for a program that doesn't yet have established metrics. This role also involves managing external red-teaming partnerships to extend coverage at scale, and communicating findings and program impact to leadership on a recurring basis.This role heavily draws on technical leadership in AI safety or security, program-building in ambiguous or newly-scoped territory, cross-functional negotiation, and metrics definition and reporting.","responsibilities":"Build and lead a team of red-teaming engineers, each with sustained ownership of a feature cluster
