Bring experience in Trust and Safety, content moderation, or policy enforcement at a platform scale, including work with generative AI tools.
Possess experience utilizing artificial intelligence tools to build data dashboards for metrics collection and continuous improvement.
Demonstrate the ability to analyze complex and ambiguous situations under strict time pressure.
Communicate technical chemistry concepts clearly in writing for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

Practical understanding of real-world chemical and explosives risks, including adversary intent, weaponization pathways, and dual-use concerns.
Proficiency in SQL and other data analysis tools to extract insights from large datasets and monitor workflow health.
Familiarity with the Chemical Weapons Convention, scheduled chemicals, precursor controls, and energetic-materials safety frameworks.
