About the job

About Us

White Circle is at the forefront of AI Safety, creating the essential safety, reliability, and optimization framework for AI systems. Our platform is built on policies—easily understandable natural-language rules that outline appropriate AI model behavior. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously refine these policies on a massive scale.

  • We have secured $11M in funding from leading investors, founders, and executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others.

  • Our systems process over one hundred million API calls each month.

  • We optimize and train our own LLMs to operate more swiftly and cost-effectively than any publicly available or proprietary models.

As a compact and highly focused team, we welcome those eager to tackle challenging problems, deliver their work to production swiftly, and actively shape the future of AI safety.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement backend services in Rust that facilitate real-time policy evaluations at scale, ensuring low latency and high reliability.

  • Take ownership of features from inception to deployment: API design, database schema development, and continuous monitoring and iteration.

  • Engage with different layers of the stack as needed; we prioritize problem-solving over rigid role definitions.

  • Enhance system performance and reliability through connection pooling, caching strategies, query optimization, and observability practices.

  • Collaborate directly with product managers, researchers, and ML teams to convert requirements into effective production systems.

Ideal Candidate:

  • You have experience building and deploying backend systems in Rust—beyond mere tutorials, you have real-world production experience.

  • You are well-versed in async Rust (Tokio), web frameworks (Axum, Actix), and database interaction patterns.

  • You possess strong system design fundamentals, capable of assessing trade-offs, failure modes, and scalability.

  • You have hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, adept at crafting efficient queries and designing schemas.

About White Circle

White Circle is a pioneering AI Safety company dedicated to creating a robust safety and optimization layer for AI systems. Our innovative policies guide AI model behavior, ensuring reliability and continuous improvement at scale.
