4. Collaborate closely with infra, data, and platform teams to optimize large-scale training pipelines, improve model serving efficiency, and leverage centralized GPU resources effectively.
5. Partner with product, policy, and recommendation teams to integrate safety-oriented models into real-world moderation workflows, and continuously optimize for performance and interpretability.
