Riley is on a mission to create happier and more engaged teams. For ages, offices have played a major part in company culture and now that workplace trends have accelerated towards remote and hybrid teams, we're here to fill the void left by the rituals and experiences that used to be shared in person. Riley's answer is a platform that combines experienced, service-minded individuals with technology to create a new way to connect with employees and keep them engaged and happy.
A huge part of Riley's mission is to provide diverse job opportunities and career advancement paths for individuals of all backgrounds.
The Role
This role is ideal for someone who is eager to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new startup. This is an opportunity for a motivated individual to take ownership and gain knowledge across multiple aspects of a business. You will wear many hats and must be comfortable knowing that no two days are alike. You'll be asked to collaborate directly with both Co-Founders and your feedback will be instrumental in shaping the foundation of the company. While your responsibilities will be broad, the primary responsibilities will include:
Creating Event Programming/Experiences
Riley's clients expect curated and thoughtful events to keep their teams engaged and interested so we need someone who likes to think out of the box to create novel, fun, and worthwhile virtual events. You'll be instrumental in sourcing, organizing, and coordinating events for clients and also building the database of events for the future.
Riley seeks to recreate some of the rituals that are missed from the physical office, such as acknowledgment of birthdays or special occasions. As head of events/experiences, we'll need someone who can fill this void by offering up interesting ways for companies to reimagine these types of employee experiences.
Liaising With Co-Founders
As we grow Riley, we're hoping to find a motivated individual who's interested in learning what works and what doesn't and isn't afraid to share valuable feedback. You'll be instrumental in sharing ideas that will be implemented in all facets of the business including marketing, operations, and training.
Team Building
As one of our first employees, the expectation will be that you will grow into a leadership role in a short period of time. This means we're looking for someone who's up for a challenge and isn't afraid to learn new things and is eager to not only learn, but also to teach and lead by example.
We show a strong preference for those with a demonstrated, scrappy, customer service oriented bend.
*For this role, you will be reporting to Manhattan five days a week during regular business hours (8:00AM-5:00PM).
Who You Are
A solid human being....you do things the right way and won't compromise your morals.
Events experience of 1-3 years highly preferred. Track record showing you've coordinated events (ideally virtual) or experiences for offices and their employees.
Hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants) experience a plus.
Ideally you've managed people in the past. Not a deal-breaker, but at some point you'll be in charge of a team, so experience helps.
You're super organized - you even surprise yourself with how you stay on top of everything.
You're high energy - the more you have to do, the happier you are.
You're a people person who truly cares about keeping the team happy, and have been known to go above and beyond to make sure of that.
You're mature enough to take the work seriously, no matter how tedious the task.

Researcher, Misalignment Research
Openai 4.2
User experience researcher 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.
