Researcher, Misalignment Research
Postdoctoral scholar job in New York, NY
About the Team Safety Systems sits at the forefront of OpenAI's mission to build and deploy safe AGI, ensuring our most capable models can be released responsibly and for the benefit of society. Within Safety Systems, we are building a misalignment research team to focus on the most pressing problems for the future of AGI. Our mandate is to identify, quantify, and understand future AGI misalignment risks far in advance of when they can pose harm.
The work of this research taskforce spans four pillars:
* Worst‑Case Demonstrations - Craft compelling, reality‑anchored demos that reveal how AI systems can go wrong. We focus especially on high importance cases where misaligned AGI could pursue goals at odds with human well being.
* Adversarial & Frontier Safety Evaluations - Transform those demos into rigorous, repeatable evaluations that measure dangerous capabilities and residual risks. Topics of interest include deceptive behavior, scheming, reward hacking, deception in reasoning, and power-seeking, along with other related areas.
* System‑Level Stress Testing - Build automated infrastructure to probe entire product stacks, assessing end‑to‑end robustness under extreme conditions. We treat misalignment as an evolving adversary, escalating tests until we find breaking points even as systems continue to improve.
* Alignment Stress‑Testing Research - Investigate why mitigations break, publishing insights that shape strategy and next‑generation safeguards. We collaborate with other labs when useful and actively share misalignment findings to accelerate collective progress.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Researcher who is passionate about red‑teaming and AI safety. In this role you will design and execute cutting‑edge attacks, build adversarial evaluations, and advance our understanding of how safety measures can fail-and how to fix them. Your insights will directly influence OpenAI's product launches and long‑term safety roadmap.
In this role, you will
* Design and implement worst‑case demonstrations that make AGI alignment risks concrete for stakeholders, focused on high stakes use cases described above.
* Develop adversarial and system‑level evaluations grounded in those demonstrations, driving adoption across OpenAI.
* Create automated tools and infrastructure to scale automated red‑teaming and stress testing.
* Conduct research on failure modes of alignment techniques and propose improvements.
* Publish influential internal or external papers that shift safety strategy or industry practice. We aim to concretely reduce existential AI risk.
* Partner with engineering, research, policy, and legal teams to integrate findings into product safeguards and governance processes.
* Mentor engineers and researchers, fostering a culture of rigorous, impact‑oriented safety work.
You might thrive in this role if you
* Already are thinking about these problems night and day, and share our mission to build safe, universally beneficial AGI and align with the OpenAI Charter.
* Have 4+ years of experience in AI red‑teaming, security research, adversarial ML, or related safety fields.
* Possess a strong research track record-publications, open‑source projects, or high‑impact internal work-demonstrating creativity in uncovering and exploiting system weaknesses.
* Are fluent in modern ML / AI techniques and comfortable hacking on large‑scale codebases and evaluation infrastructure.
* Communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical audiences, translating complex findings into actionable recommendations.
* Enjoy collaboration and can drive cross‑functional projects that span research, engineering, and policy.
* Hold a Ph.D., master's degree, or equivalent experience in computer science, machine learning, security, or a related discipline (nice to have but not required).
What we Offer
* A chance to shape safety practices at the frontier of AGI. Your work will directly lower the changes of catastrophic misalignment.
* Access to cutting‑edge models, tooling, and compute resources.
* A highly collaborative, mission‑driven environment with world‑class colleagues.
* Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.

Machine Learning Researcher
Postdoctoral scholar job in New York, NY
Our goals are to give you a real sense of what it's like to work at Jane Street full time as a Machine Learning Researcher, and a truly unparalleled educational experience. You'll work side by side with experienced ML Researchers on projects that we've selected for their combination of novel ML ideas and relevance to real-world systematic trading strategies. You'll learn how we think about markets through challenging classes and activities, and practice using established methods alongside our own unique twists to train practical models.
At Jane Street, the lines between research, technology, and trading are intentionally blurry. As our strategies grow more sophisticated, close collaboration is essential for continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible. We work with petabytes of data, a computing cluster with hundreds of thousands of cores, and a growing GPU cluster containing thousands of high-end GPUs. Trading poses unusual challenges-large models and nonstationary datasets in a competitive multi-agent environment-that force us to search for novel techniques.
You'll spend the bulk of your internship working closely with full-time machine learning researchers on projects drawn from their own work. You might conduct an end-to-end study of an unexplored dataset, try a new modeling paradigm for a thorny problem, or consider blue-sky approaches that we're still trying to figure out. The problems we work on rarely have clean, definitive answers, and they often require insights from colleagues across the firm with different areas of expertise. Depending on the day, you might be diving deep into market data, tuning hyperparameters, debugging training issues, or analyzing the predictions your model makes.
Note that given the IP-sensitive nature of machine learning research at Jane Street, it is unlikely that any research findings associated with the internship will be suitable for outside academic publication.
About You
If you've never thought about a career in finance, you're in good company. Many of us were in the same position before working here. If you have a curious mind and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you'll fit right in. You should be:
A PhD student or postdoc with practical experience working on empirical ML research problems
Interested in applying logical and mathematical thinking to all kinds of problems
Curious about the machine learning landscape and excited to apply state-of-the-art techniques drawn from many problem domains
Fluent with a versatile set of models and tricks
Able to rapidly implement and iterate on your ideas in Python and your favorite ML framework
Eager to ask questions, admit mistakes, and learn new things
