Scale Labs, the policy-research arm of Scale AI, is hiring a research scientist to work on AI controls and monitoring. The role involves building real-time monitoring and observability for model and agent behavior, designing layered fail-safes and oversight protocols that can halt or redirect systems, and running red-team simulations to find gaps in those controls. The posting asks for published machine-learning research, at least three years on complex ML problems, and prototype-building ability. Interviews test practical ML prototyping and debugging rather than LeetCode-style questions.
