Lead Research Scientist/Engineer (Embedded Evaluations)

Visa sponsorship: Apollo Research says on this job page "We are able to sponsor visas to the UK and US" and offers relocation support and visa fees where applicable.

Apollo Research, an AI safety organisation, is hiring senior researchers for its embedded evaluations work - assessing frontier AI labs' safety evidence from the inside. You may join the on-site evaluator team (preferably based in San Francisco) or the applied research team, which can work from the London office.

What you'll do:

• Prepare and support evaluators, design playbooks and decide what evidence supports a safety case
• Build tooling for evaluations, often at short notice
• Analyse large, messy datasets and write clear findings for high-stakes audiences

What they ask for: a strong track record of rigorous technical AI safety research (alignment, interpretability, evaluations, control, adversarial ML or post-training) and experience leading ambitious technical projects. Formal qualifications are not required.

Salary £160,000 - £270,000 for strong individual contributors, or £230,000 - £395,000 for recognised experts, plus equity. Listed benefits include unlimited vacation and sick leave, up to 6 months' paid parental leave, health cover, meals at work and a professional development budget. In-person in London or San Francisco.

Supportive Bridge only passes on what the employer says. Never pay anyone for a job offer or a Certificate of Sponsorship.
