Trust, Safety and Integrity Counsel
Our Mission
Reflection is a research lab making intelligence open and accessible for everyone to use, customize, and build on. We build open models that let anyone control their intelligence and help shape the future of AI. Our mission: make intelligence open and accessible to all.
About The Role
We are seeking an AI Trust, Safety and Integrity Counselor to lead the legal support for all AI safety risks and regulations applicable to the development of frontier AI. You will work at the frontier of AI law, translating complex global safety and integrity regimes and regulations into actionable product roadmaps. You will be a strategic partner to cross-functional teams across a hyper-scaling AI lab, ensuring that our frontier open foundation models are built with trust, safety and integrity at the forefront.
You will advise on US and international AI trust, safety and integrity regulatory regimes and the practical application of those regimes to frontier AI. You will work closely with our product, research, engineering, and safety teams as well as other business operations and compliance units to implement measures that ensure our models are responsibly developed.
This is a high-impact, build-stage role. You will not simply answer one-off legal questions; you will help design the policies, review processes, escalation pathways, and business-facing guidance that allow Reflection to move quickly while maintaining a mature and defensible compliance posture.
What You’ll Do
- Act as Reflection’s central expert and primary legal contact for all trust, safety, and integrity-related legal issues.
- Advise on existing and developing US and international AI safety requirements.
- Design and implement content safety standards for Reflection’s business, including model development and open-weight releases. Develop policies alongside the trust and safety product teams to ensure Reflection’s models meet safety standards and regulations.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to implement safety controls that allow for responsible model releases and ensure Reflection addresses current and future safety and content regulations and laws.
- Advise on safety and integrity considerations in commercial and strategic transactions including partnerships with customers, data and model collaborations, and research partnerships.
- Address legal risks associated with potential AI harms and provide guidance on key legal frameworks including US federal and state laws such as CFAA, FTC Act, state non-discrimination and deepfake laws as well as international regulations such as:
- Digital Services Act (UK)
- Online Safety Act (UK)
- EU AI Act
- Monitor legal and regulatory developments from Congress, the White House, the EU, UK, and other relevant authorities, and translate those developments into practical guidance for leadership and operators.
- Help establish a risk-based compliance posture for AI-specific trust and safety questions involving:
- Model weights
- Derivative models
- Training data
- Inference access
- Compute clusters
- Technical know-how
- Research collaboration
- Evaluations
- Cross-border access
