About the team

Seed Global Data is a team focused on producing international data for LLMs. For the training of large models, data is the lifeline of model quality — and the Global Data team is working closely with technical, product, and operations teams to ensure effective data production strategies and execution management.

As a key member of our LLM Global Data Team, the LLM Training Operations Analyst will play a pivotal role in managing the intricate processes involved in training large language models (LLMs) with diverse coding datasets. This role focuses on overseeing and improving operational workflows, primarily for safety-related projects, ensuring they are delivered with high quality and efficiency.

Job Responsibilities
- Design and execute data synthesis projects to support model safety training across text, image, audio, and other modalities. Coordinate with internal teams to scope training needs, establish timelines, and deliver scalable, high-quality synthetic safety datasets aligned with evolving model needs.
- Systematically analyze evaluation outputs to identify failure modes, behavioral gaps, and underrepresented cases. Translate these findings into targeted safety data synthesis strategies that strengthen model robustness and performance.
- Work closely with model development, policy, and evaluation teams to ensure synthesized data meets quality standards and safety alignment. Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate data synthesis efforts into broader model safety training pipelines.
- Conduct research on the latest model training methodologies and synthetic data best practices from academia and industry. Proactively identify gaps in existing safety training data strategies and propose innovative approaches to improve scalability, efficiency, and coverage.
