About the job
The Imagine team is redefining AI-driven media experiences for Grok users worldwide. As a Product Safety Engineer on the Imagine team, you will build the critical safety systems and infrastructure that ensure Grok’s multimodal generation capabilities (images, video, audio, and beyond) are powerful, delightful, and responsibly deployed. You’ll design and scale safeguards, detection systems, and evaluation frameworks that prevent harm while preserving creativity and user freedom. Your work will directly shape how millions of users experience generative media — balancing rapid innovation with rigorous safety, trustworthiness, and alignment with SpaceXAI's mission. If you’re a driven engineer passionate about AI safety, content integrity, and building robust systems that protect users without stifling innovation, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact at the frontier of multimodal AI.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable safety systems for media generation, including content moderation, risk detection, and safeguard enforcement for images, video, and audio.
- Build infrastructure to measure, monitor, and mitigate safety risks like harmful content, bias, deepfakes, and intellectual property issues at global scale.
- Develop tools, pipelines, and evaluation frameworks for rapid iteration on safety policies.
- Architect feedback loops between user interactions, model outputs, and training data to continuously improve safety.
- Own full-cycle development of safety features from problem definition to deployment and monitoring.
- Partner with engineering, research, and product teams to embed safety into core features.
Requirements
