Reflection AI is seeking a Subject Matter Expert in Child Safety to serve as the internal authority on preventing, detecting, and responding to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) generated or facilitated through the company's open AI models and products.
In this role, you will define how Reflection approaches child safety, translate expertise into concrete enforcement workflows and detection strategies, and act as a critical gatekeeper ensuring open model releases meet child safety commitments. You will own child safety evaluations end-to-end: standing up and scaling review workflows, serving as the primary point of contact for content reviewers, conducting reviews yourself, driving model launch evaluations on novel or ambiguous cases, and partnering closely with Safety, Alignment, Policy, and Legal teams.
Key responsibilities include:
- Setting standards, definitions, and escalation thresholds for child safety across the lab
- Partnering with Safety research and engineering teams to create automated evaluations
- Managing day-to-day child safety content evaluation and review workflows, including task routing, queue management, quality assurance, and SLA monitoring
- Onboarding, training, and supporting review partners
- Reviewing flagged content to drive enforcement decisions and surface policy gaps
- Designing and evaluating detection models, hash-matching pipelines, and automated enforcement systems
- Validating that models meet child safety risk thresholds before open-weight releases
- Developing internal documentation, decision trees, and review guidelines
- Identifying and reporting emerging misuse patterns and threat actor behavior
- Coordinating reporting obligations to external bodies (e.g., NCMEC)
- Staying current on evolving legal frameworks and child safety technology
Required qualifications include deep subject matter expertise in child safety, CSEA, or online child protection; experience in trust & safety or content moderation with direct child safety exposure; experience managing content review operations; proficiency in SQL and data analysis tools; sound judgment under time pressure; and familiarity with CSAM/CSEM classification standards and relevant legal frameworks.
Preferred qualifications include experience with NCMEC or IWF reporting, knowledge of generative AI misuse vectors, experience with hash-matching technologies, familiarity with age assurance technologies, trauma-informed support design, Python proficiency, and additional language skills.
Note: This role involves regular exposure to explicit content of a sexual nature involving minors and potentially violent or disturbing material. Reflection provides wellness resources, trauma-informed support, and operational safeguards.
