About the role

We're hiring proficient bilingual speakers (English & Vietnamese) to help make advanced AI models safer. You'll apply your language fluency and cultural judgment to evaluate and strengthen how these models handle sensitive topics in Vietnamese. No prior AI/ML experience is required — we'll train you on the workflow.

What you'll do

  • Write expert-level prompts in Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese, 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.

Nice to have

  • Based in Vietnam or the wider Southeast Asia region. This is a preference, not a requirement — applicants based elsewhere are welcome.
  • Experience reviewing, grading, or red-teaming written or technical content.
  • Background in trust and safety, content moderation, policy evaluation, or adversarial testing.
