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:
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.
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.
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.
