AI Safety & Transparency Engineer

AI Safety & Transparency Engineer

Division: DATUM, Impac Exploration Services Location: Remote, Oklahoma City (OK), Houston (TX) Type: Full-Time

Build AI That Earns Trust by Deserving It

We're not building black boxes. At DATUM, our AI makes decisions about critical infrastructure where "trust me, it works" isn't good enough. When our models predict something, operators need to understand why. When they make recommendations, engineers need to see the reasoning.

We need someone who believes AI transparency isn't a nice-to-have—it's the whole game. Someone who gets excited about making complex models explainable without dumbing them down. Who sees safety not as constraints, but as design principles that make AI actually useful in the real world.

What You'll Build

Your North Star

The Technical Challenge

You're Our Person If

Especially If

Why This Role Matters

Your work enables:

This isn't about checking compliance boxes. It's about building AI that deserves to be trusted with decisions that matter.

The Reality

Industrial AI safety is uncharted territory. You'll:

Growth Path

Start: Build transparency into our existing models Six months: Define how industrial AI safety should work. One year: Publish frameworks others adopt

When companies realize they need industrial AI ethics expertise, you'll have written the playbook they're trying to follow.

The Challenge

You'll make AI that's powerful enough to transform industries and transparent enough for a roughneck to trust it at 3 AM. You'll prove that explainable doesn't mean weak, and safe doesn't mean slow.

Ready to Open the Black Box?

Show us explainability work that actually helped real users. Tell us about safety systems you've built for complex environments. Share your vision for industrial AI that's both powerful and trustworthy.

We're looking for someone who sees "it's too complex to explain" as a challenge, not an excuse.
