About AI Forensics

AI Forensics is a non-profit organization defending digital rights through algorithmic investigations.

Our team has been pioneering algorithmic investigations techniques for more than 5 years, holding platforms accountable to their users and to the law.

Our investigations have received coverage on major media outlets, like the Washington Post or the Guardian. Our reports have been cited by the United Nations, the US and French Senate. We are also informing tech regulation at the European Union level.

Recent projects relate to:

  • Use of generative AI imagery in political campaigns
  • Exposing widespread pro-Russian propaganda on Meta
  • Self-harm and suicide content on TikTok
  • Impact of recommendation personalization on YouTube

This work is funded through grants and foundations, including the Open Society Foundation, the European Commission and the Mozilla Foundation.

We particularly welcome applications from women and people who are part of marginalised groups as diverse perspectives are critical to our work.

About the job

Help us investigate influential platforms!

We are looking for a Software Developer to use creative ways to collect data from Big Tech platforms to expose digital violations of human rights.

You will develop our Digital Evidence Infrastructure, which enables researchers to automate experiments on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, or Microsoft Copilot, emulating the behavior of real users. You will develop the Infrastructure to test and monitor algorithms on large platforms, such as commercial Conversational Large Language Models.

Your job will involve engineering data pipelines, developing scraping modules, and orchestrating emulated mobile devices and browsers.

Work environment

Platforms are not too keen on being scrutinized, so we often need to workaround hurdles. This can look more like white hat hacking than traditional software engineering, and involves finding creative solutions to problems that don't have 10 answers on StackOverflow.

You will work with 3 other full-stack developers, a stellar sys admin, and interface with team of researchers.

The AI Forensics team works against racism, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, transphobia and any structural discrimination. Should you be impacted by any of these, please know we are looking for irreducible talent and would be pleased to receive your application.

Preferred start date: November 2024
