About the role
We're hiring proficient bilingual speakers (English & Italian) to help make advanced AI models safer.

What you'll do
- Write expert-level prompts in Italian across a range of sensitive subject areas.
- Apply structured guidelines to classify prompts and conversations.
- Flag adversarial phrasings and escalation patterns, and document the reasoning behind your judgments.
What we're looking for
- Native or near-native fluency in Italian, plus business-level written English.
- A bachelor's degree, completed or in progress.
- Strong written reasoning and a high level of attention to detail.
- Sound judgment around sensitive and dual-use information.
