# U.S. Policy Associate

The Role We are looking for an early-career policy associate to help build our U.S. policy work: making the state of the art in AI verification legible in Washington, while ensuring verification engineers are building towards the policy objectives of governments. You will work closely with our Head of U.S. Policy and our technical team, and we will shape the scope of the role to the person we hire. This work is critical and urgent: : incidents in frontier AI are rising, and developers want options to prove to one another and to governments that they are mitigating extreme risk. Lucid's tooling seeks to support this. For example, we are retrofittinga 16-GPU H100 cluster in Sweden to create an adversarial testbed for verification mechanisms to go through repeated cycles of being built and then attacked by an independent red team, with the architecture and results open sourced. This is the quickest way to close the time needed from design to world class red teaming. This role sits between our technical team and the people we work with in Washington. Externally, you will help give policymakers an accurate picture of what can be verified today, what could be with investment, what cannot
