Preference will be given to candidates who are able to come into the office, located in midtown Manhattan, at least 2 days a week.

Every day, Ethycans tackle one of the world's most challenging problems - how to make data and AI driven technology safer for humanity - and thinking about the future of human rights as society increasingly moves online. If this sounds intriguing and you’re excited to shape that future with us, we’d want to speak with you.
