Credo AI is an AI governance company focused on operationalizing Responsible AI. We are continuing to grow and looking to hire more people. In a previous post seeking technical folks, I talked about the company in some detail - check it out for more information.

Roles

  • Technology Policy Manager - this role combines policy expertise and product management acumen. You'd be responsible for understanding the important policy changes happening in the RAI ecosystem and translating that understanding into a form actionable by companies.
  • Principal User Researcher - this role is about improving our learning speed through user research. We firmly believe that growing this capability will be critical to both our mission and company's success.
  • Sr. Data Scientist - I've written about this role before on the forum. If you are passionate about RAI and/or building tooling for ML practitioners, please contact me!

Hiring process and details

Our hiring process starts with you reaching out. If you have questions about whether you are a good fit for a specific role, or think you are a fit for a role that we haven't defined yet, please let us know! 

Reach out to ian@credo.ai. Please include “Effective Altruism Forum” in the subject line so I know where you heard of us. You can also submit an application through the job portals linked for each role. All jobs and requirements are posted here

 

More about Credo AI

We help operationalize RAI development for our customers with our governance, risk & compliance (GRC) product and an open-source AI assessment framework called Lens. NIST's initial draft for an AI Risk Management Framework is highly aligned with our product and vision and can give you more context on the regulatory environment we operate in.

Hey! From the perspective of someone potentially looking for a job (and who talks to lots of people who are), an important consideration is "am I specifically a good fit for this"

I recommend trying to put the role names in the title, or at least visibly on top. This will help your candidates understand if the rest of the post is likely relevant for them.

Details like "are you venture backed" or "is this an ongoing hire" are also interesting, but secondary to that.

Let me know if you'd like help with this. Here are some priors I have from software developers, and here is a hiring post I wrote.

Thanks for the perspective Yonatan! I've rearranged the post to better conform to your suggestions.

Because we have multiple roles, here I am trying to balance brevity and answering the question "am a specifically a good fit for this". My last post went more in to detail about the company and one type of role in particular. Couldn't post all the roles in the title but tried to make them as understandable as possible in few words, while linking to more information.

I speak to many entrepreneurial people trying to do a large amount of good by starting a nonprofit organisation. I think this is often an error for four main reasons. 1. Scalability 2. Capital counterfactuals 3. Standards 4. Learning potential 5. Earning to give potential These arguments are most applicable to starting high-growth organisations, such as startups.[1] Scalability There is a lot of capital available for startups, and established mechanisms exist to continue raising funds if the ROI appears high. It seems extremely difficult to operate a nonprofit with a budget of more than $30M per year (e.g., with approximately 150 people), but this is not particularly unusual for for-profit organisations. Capital Counterfactuals I generally believe that value-aligned funders are spending their money reasonably well, while for-profit investors are spending theirs extremely poorly (on altruistic grounds). If you can redirect that funding towards high-altruism value work, you could potentially create a much larger delta between your use of funding and the counterfactual of someone else receiving those funds. You also won’t be reliant on constantly convincing donors to give you money, once you’re generating revenue. Standards Nonprofits have significantly weaker feedback mechanisms compared to for-profits. They are often difficult to evaluate and lack a natural kill function. Few people are going to complain that you provided bad service when it didn’t cost them anything. Most nonprofits are not very ambitious, despite having large moral ambitions. It’s challenging to find talented people willing to accept a substantial pay cut to work with you. For-profits are considerably more likely to create something that people actually want. Learning Potential Most people should be trying to put themselves in a better position to do useful work later on. People often report learning a great deal from working at high-growth companies, building interesting connection

TL;DR Exactly one year after receiving our seed funding upon completion of the Charity Entrepreneurship program, we (Miri and Evan) look back on our first year of operations, discuss our plans for the future, and launch our fundraising for our Year 2 budget. Family Planning could be one of the most cost-effective public health interventions available. Reducing unintended pregnancies lowers maternal mortality, decreases rates of unsafe abortions, and reduces maternal morbidity. Increasing the interval between births lowers under-five mortality. Allowing women to control their reproductive health leads to improved education and a significant increase in their income. Many excellent organisations have laid out the case for Family Planning, most recently GiveWell.[1] In many low and middle income countries, many women who want to delay or prevent their next pregnancy can not access contraceptives due to poor supply chains and high costs. Access to Medicines Initiative (AMI) was incubated by Ambitious Impact’s Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program in 2024 with the goal of increasing the availability of contraceptives and other essential medicines.[2] The Problem Maternal mortality is a serious problem in Nigeria. Globally, almost 28.5% of all maternal deaths occur in Nigeria. This is driven by Nigeria’s staggeringly high maternal mortality rate of 1,047 deaths per 100,000 live births, the third highest in the world. To illustrate the magnitude, for the U.K., this number is 8 deaths per 100,000 live births.   While there are many contributing factors, 29% of pregnancies in Nigeria are unintended. 6 out of 10 women of reproductive age in Nigeria have an unmet need for contraception, and fulfilling these needs would likely prevent almost 11,000 maternal deaths per year. Additionally, the Guttmacher Institute estimates that every dollar spent on contraceptive services beyond the current level would reduce the cost of pregnancy-related and newborn care by three do
