About us
FAR.AI is a non-profit AI research institute working to ensure advanced AI is safe and beneficial for everyone. Our mission is to facilitate breakthrough AI safety research, advance global understanding of AI risks and solutions, and foster a coordinated global response. Since our founding in July 2022, we've grown to 50+ staff, published 40+ academic papers, and convened leading AI safety events. Our work is recognized globally, with publications at premier venues such as NeurIPS, ICML including a Best Paper Honorable Mention in 2026, and ICLR, and features in the Financial Times, Nature News, Wired Magazine and MIT Technology Review. We conduct pre-deployment testing on behalf of frontier developers such as OpenAI, independent evaluations for governments including the EU AI Office, and publish the AI Security Leaderboard based on our red-teaming expertise. We help steer and grow the AI safety field through developing research roadmaps with renowned researchers such as Yoshua Bengio; running FAR.Labs, an AI safety-focused co-working space in Berkeley housing 40+ members; and supporting the community through targeted grants to technical researchers.
The Role
The Staff Technical Writer owns FAR.AI’s written content. They work with researchers and the red team on pre-publication findings to write the reports and research write-ups that decisionmakers at frontier labs and across the field rely on, develop content for public-facing products such as the AI Security Leaderboard, and work with our CEO and technical leaders on op-eds and position papers. They also own website copy and the quarterly newsletter, and steward an organization-wide voice and narrative with the Communications Team Lead. They report to Lauren Reid, Communications Team Lead, and work closely with the Digital Media Manager and the rest of the comms team. The role has no direct reports at launch. They will thrive here if they are a skilled writer, or a technical specialist who writes well, with real experience in AI, who enjoys making complex technical findings clear and accurate for different audiences and can run several projects at once.
Why are we hiring for this role?
FAR.AI has grown to 50+ staff and plans to keep growing (a target of around 200 by end of 2029), and the volume of research and red-teaming findings that needs clear writing is growing with it. The comms team currently covers design, digital media and media relations, but no one owns written content end to end: research reports, blog posts, op-eds, the website, the newsletter and the org-wide narrative. This hire fills that gap so that our findings reach researchers and decisionmakers in a form they can use. For the right person, this is a chance to set the voice of a fast-growing, independent AI safety research institute and shape how its work is read by the people making decisions about AI.
Key Responsibilities
- Writing for the scientific community (technical version of the role): partner with researchers early in key projects to identify the core narrative and message of their work.
- Edit drafts of academic papers so they convey their ideas clearly to a scholarly audience, and structure them to submission standards (including LaTeX where needed).
- Write blog post summaries of papers for a technically knowledgeable but non-expert audience, and co-write blog posts, newsletters and position papers with the technical team.
- Own the write-up for every research launch: blog post, abstract rewrite and plain-language summary, working from a brief from the research pod.
- Translate core research findings into clear material for non-technical audiences, such as corporate decision makers and the general public.
- Work with our CEO and technical leaders on op-eds and position papers, and write content for public-facing products such as the AI Security Leaderboard.
- Own written content on FAR.AI’s website, including a regular audit of the evergreen pages (about, programs, team, research overview), working with the Digital Media Manager on structure and presentation.
- Own the quarterly newsletter: set its editorial direction and consolidate updates from across the organization into a clear narrative for key supporters.
- Lead the writing of FAR.AI’s annual report or year-in-review narrative.
- With the Communications Team Lead, establish and steward a consistent organizational voice, narratives around our strategic priorities, and the key messages that support them.
- Write and maintain a FAR.AI house style and voice guide: terminology, how we describe risk, how we cite, and what we don’t say.
- Review key social media posts with the Digital Media Manager so they stay consistent with this voice and narrative.
Required Qualifications
- Writers: 3+ years of professional experience in a writing role (e.g. staff writer, science communicator, editorial lead), and a portfolio of published work that turns complex technical material into clear, accurate writing.
- Technical specialists: 3+ years of experience in machine learning or a closely related field (e.g. maths, stats, physics) as a researcher or engineer, and a portfolio of published writing in at least two formats (papers or technical documentation, blog posts, social media, op-eds).
- All candidates: proven ability to own projects independently from concept to completion.
- All candidates: substantive experience in AI, as a researcher or engineer, or as a writer who has covered AI in depth. A general science or technology background is not enough.
- All candidates: interest in AI safety and our mission, and a willingness to learn.
Preferred Qualifications
- Working understanding of machine learning concepts, enough to represent research accurately and talk credibly with researchers.
- Experience with academic publishing: arXiv, conference submissions, peer review, LaTeX.
- A track record of writing, ghostwriting or editing op-eds.
- A background in science journalism, research communications, or as a researcher who writes.
