Research Scientist, Open Source Technical Safeguards London, UK About the AI Security Institute The AI Security Institute is the world's largest and best-funded team dedicated to understanding advanced AI risks and translating that knowledge into action. We're in the heart of the UK government with direct lines to No. 10 (the Prime Minister's office), and we work with frontier developers and governments globally. We're here because governments are critical for advanced AI going well, and UK AISI is uniquely positioned to mobilise them. With our resources, unique agility and international influence, this is the best place to shape both AI development and government action. Societal Resilience Societal Resilience is a multidisciplinary team that studies how advanced AI models can impact people and society. We research the prevalence and severity of high impact societal risks caused by frontier AI deployment, and develop mitigations to address these risks. Core research topics include the use of AI for assisting with criminal activities, preventing critical overreliance on insufficiently robust systems, undermining trust in information, jeopardising psychological wellbeing, or for malicious social engineering. We are interested in both immediate and medium term risks. Why this team matters One emerging risk area we are concerned with is the use of open weight models to drive risks like child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and non consensual intimate imagery (NCII) generation. AISI has previously published research on methods for making open weight models more robust against malicious tampering. In this role, you'll join a strongly collaborative technical research team to help design and develop technical safeguards for open weight models that will reduce the risks of CSAM, NCII, and other risks. We do not expect this role to handle this kind of content directly. About the role This is a research scientist position focused on developing technical safeguards against tampering with open weight models. The role will focus on mitigating AI generated CSAM and NCII by targeting the real world supply chain driving harm: open weight models, adaptation artifacts (LoRAs, guides), and downstream distribution infrastructure (hosting platforms, app stores, operating systems). Our approach prioritises downstream mitigations and actors beyond frontier model developers. This role will build technical tools, protocols, and evidence that platforms and OS/app ecosystems can adopt. This work belongs inside UK government because effective mitigation requires cross agency coordination (Home Office, DSIT, Ofcom), engagement with regulated platforms under the Online Safety Act, and credible evidence to inform policy trade offs across innovation, competition, and child protection. This role will synthesize threat intelligence on how AI generated CSAM and NCII are developed, create scalable screening methodologies that platforms can realistically run, and publish best practice protocols with NGOs to raise the floor across the ecosystem. You'll work closely with engineers and domain experts across AISI, as well as external research collaborators at Home Office, Internet Watch Foundation, and Ofcom. Researchers on this team have substantial freedom to shape independent research agendas, lead collaborations, and initiate projects that push the frontier of what evaluations can reveal. Example Projects Publish a Problem Book framing the technical challenges and research directions for preventing CSAM/NCII misuse across model and hosting layers. Develop threat models for how AI generated CSAM and NCII are created and shared. Design and pilot scalable, automated screening methodologies platforms can run pre publication on uploads (topic general prototypes that avoid exposure to illegal content). Develop approaches for identifying and tracking known or novel CSAM LoRAs to enable platform blocking at upload. Co develop best practice protocols with NGOs (e.g., Thorn/IWF) for hosting, app store, and OS enforcement. This is an individual contributor role with no line management responsibilities. You will report into a senior Research Scientist overseeing our team's misuse workstream. Impact Your work will raise safety standards across hosting and distribution layers, reduce the availability of CSAM/NCII generating artifacts (e.g., LoRAs) on major platforms, inform industry protocols and possibly standards, and provide actionable evidence for government decisions. Crucially, we do not expect this role to handle NCII or CSAM material. Role Requirements We're flexible on the exact profile and expect successful candidates will meet many (but not necessarily all) of the criteria below. Depending on experience, we will consider candidates at either the RS or Senior RS level. At least 3+ years of relevant experience in applied ML, trust & safety tooling, content moderation, security engineering, or adjacent technical fields; we also welcome strong earlier career applicants (2-3 years) with demonstrated impact in open source technical work. Deep familiarity with open weight image/video models (diffusion, LoRA), model hosting ecosystems (e.g., Hugging Face, GitHub), and the limitations of pre deployment safeguards. Strong methodological rigor and creativity; able to design automated, scalable evaluations and detection methods that generalise and avoid reliance on illegal content. Strong Python and ML stack (PyTorch/JAX), data engineering, and systems skills; experience building pipelines and tooling that run at platform scale. Knowledge of fingerprinting and detection approaches (e.g., perceptual hashing, embedding based similarity, behavioural signatures), and their privacy and robustness trade offs. Excellent writing and communication for technical and policy audiences; ability to translate evidence into practical governance guidance. High agency, ethical judgment, and safe working practices for sensitive topics. Commit to work from our London office in Whitehall for parts of the week, with flexibility for remote work. We're looking for full time commitment but are open to part time arrangements. Preferred Experience collaborating with hosting platforms, app stores, OS vendors, or regulators (e.g., Ofcom) on safety by design initiatives. Familiarity with Online Safety Act requirements and platform trust & safety operations; prior work with NGOs such as IWF, Thorn, or STOPNCII.org. Expertise in diffusion models and adaptation techniques (LoRA), model evaluation, and secure tooling for sensitive domains. Experience with privacy preserving computation, metadata poor detection, and standardization efforts (RFCs, protocols). Open source contributions (tools, libraries) and evidence of leading cross sector technical projects. Example backgrounds Senior trust & safety engineer who built automated content integrity pipelines for a large platform; strong OS/Strack record; experience with model hosting ecosystems. Applied ML researcher with a PhD/postdoc in computer vision or ML safety; hands on with diffusion/LoRA; led evaluations and published tooling used by industry. Security/data engineer with 3+ years building scalable detection systems; experience in fingerprinting, hashing, and privacy preserving methods; collaborated with regulators/NGOs.

Job Description We're looking for a senior technical leader to help drive the evolution of a complex, business-critical trading platform within a tier-one investment bank. This role is focused on understanding an existing legacy system - rich in workflow, automation, pricing, booking, and client connectivity - and defining a clear, practical technical roadmap that delivers immediate business value while steadily moving the platform toward its long-term strategic architecture. You'll work closely with engineering teams, quant partners, and senior stakeholders to assess how the platform operates today, including nuanced pre-trade and post-trade flows and bespoke, client-specific FIX implementations. A target architecture is also being defined in parallel, and a key part of this role is evolving the current stack so that it's ready to be migrated to the new platform - identifying dependencies, reducing unnecessary complexity, and ensuring the transition can happen incrementally without disrupting live trading. This is not a greenfield role. Success comes from adding value immediately within a large, demanding codebase - understanding existing Java and .NET systems well enough to reason about trade-offs, guide refactoring or selective rewrites, and make sound architectural decisions under pressure. The roadmap you produce is as important as the changes themselves. A strong candidate will actively embrace agentic AI tooling as a force multiplier - not just to accelerate development, but to rapidly comprehend unfamiliar systems, trace behaviour across services, uncover hidden dependencies, and validate architectural thinking. Combined with deep equities domain knowledge and experience building large-scale distributed systems, this role offers the chance to spearhead meaningful, pragmatic change within a high-impact trading environment. Core skills Ability to assess complex legacy systems, define pragmatic technical roadmaps, and drive incremental modernization toward a strategic target platform. Experience delivering incremental modernization of live, revenue-critical systems under active business demand Experience preparing legacy systems for migration to a target architecture, including dependency analysis, interface stabilisation, and incremental decoupling Strong knowledge of the investment banking domain, with hands on experience in equities pre trade and post trade systems Experience integrating and supporting front office, in house quantitative libraries developed by desk quants within production environments Proactive in using agentic AI tools to accelerate understanding of large, unfamiliar codebases and complex system behaviour, not just development. Comfortable reading and reasoning about large Java and .NET codebases to inform architectural decisions, modernization strategy, and platform transition planning London based, with on site presence required 3 days per week minimum Nice to have Experience with FIX protocol and client connectivity patterns Familiarity with message brokers (Kafka, Solace) and event driven architectures Prior consulting experience or comfort operating across multiple stakeholder groups WFH? This role is hybrid - with on site presence required 3 days per week minimum in London, Canary Wharf. Contract type Both permanent and contract arrangements considered. Eligibility We can only consider candidates who have the right to work in the UK and do not require visa sponsorship. Applicants must be UK based and within a commutable distance to London. Interested? Email with your CV and a brief introduction. Even if you're not sure you tick every box, we'd still love to hear from you - we're always keen to meet passionate, technically curious developers and engineering leads and can keep you in mind for future projects if this one isn't the right fit.
