Trust & Safety Product Safety Manager
Overview
Runway is working to develop the next generation of world models and bring them to new products and industries.
Job Description
We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science. We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world. World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached. Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
- - Lead safety assessments and threat modeling for new products, with a particular focus on completely new areas for the business
- - Design and document safety mitigations for novel product risks, and partner with engineering to implement them
- - Lead comprehensive red teaming efforts for new products and existing products
- - Serve as the dedicated safety point of contact for new products—attending planning and design sessions, raising risks early, and owning updates to safety assessments as product designs evolve
- - Stay current on the evolving landscape of AI product safety, including regulatory expectations and industry best practices
- - Support the broader Trust & Safety team with cross-functional safety questions and investigations as they relate to product features
- - As part of a small, collaborative T&S team, contribute to work across the broader team as priorities and needs evolve
Required Skills
- - 5+ years of experience in product safety, trust & safety, risk assessment, or a related discipline at a technology company
- - Strong understanding of content moderation systems
- - Demonstrated experience conducting safety assessments or threat modeling for consumer-facing products
- - Excellent written communication skills, including ability to translate complex safety issues into clear, functional documentation
- - Comfort with ambiguity and a track record of making principled decisions in fast-moving environments
- - Ability to act as a self-starter, taking initiative to identify opportunities to improve or build on processes and work products
- - Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, including ability to build trust with product managers and engineers and integrate safety into their workflows without becoming a bottleneck
Benefits
- - We’re committed to creating a space where our employees can bring their full selves to work and have equal opportunity to succeed
- - Pay equity for our team
- - Competitive market rates for our size, stage and industry
- - Salary is just one part of the overall compensation package
About the company
Runway builds AI to simulate the world by merging art and science. Runway believes that world models represent the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone are insufficient to solve the world’s hardest problems—such as robotics, disease, and scientific discovery. Meaningful progress requires models that can experience the world and learn from their mistakes, in much the same way humans do. Runway focuses on accelerating this learning through simulation rather than real-world trial and error. By enabling rapid experimentation in simulated environments, world models provide a clear path toward general-purpose simulation and more capable AI systems. Runway operates offices in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, London, and Tel Aviv, with team members working remotely from around the world.
