Role Summary

The NEREID Liaison is the human interface to NEREID, the League's AI operations layer — tuning, auditing, and constraining the system that fuses AquaLink telemetry, Intelligence dossiers, and the Universal Marine Registry into a single operational picture. The Liaison translates Command intent into tasking the system can execute safely, reviews its outputs for bias and out-of-doctrine escalation, and owns the human-in-the-loop gate on every Disrupt or Direct-Action recommendation before it reaches a hull. The role is accountable for keeping a named person answerable for what the machine suggests, and for documenting model behaviour for after-action and governance review. NEREID is the League's force-multiplier and its sharpest liability at once; the Liaison is the conscience that keeps it on a leash.

Key Responsibilities

Maintain and audit NEREID's data feeds, models, and operational recommendations, certifying provenance and freshness of inputs.
Translate Command intent into constrained, bounded tasking the system can execute within doctrine.
Review NEREID outputs for bias, error, drift, and out-of-doctrine escalation before they reach operators.
Own and exercise the human-in-the-loop gate on any Disrupt or Direct-Action recommendation, with authority to withhold it.
Document model behaviour, overrides, and failure modes for after-action and Governance ethics review.
Coordinate with the Intelligence Analyst and Legal Counsel to keep the system's inferences sourced and defensible.

Required Qualifications

Machine-learning or data-systems engineering background.
Experience with human-in-the-loop and decision-support systems.
Strong grasp of model evaluation, bias, and failure modes.
Judgment to constrain automation under an escalation doctrine.

Preferred Qualifications

AI-safety, alignment, or model-governance experience.
Familiarity with sensor-fusion and maritime-domain-awareness systems.
Cross-division fluency between engineering, intel, and governance.
TIDEWATER-4 discretion and a record of sound automation judgment.

Certifications

Curricula are delivered through the Training Academy; currency is tracked on the HR training matrix.

Physical & Hazard Requirements

High-clearance decision-systems role. The Liaison gates recommendations that send crews into harm and holds the League's most sensitive fused intelligence. The standing risks are OPSEC exposure and the moral weight of being accountable for an automated system's errors.

Bear personal accountability for vetting machine-generated tasking.
Maintain absolute OPSEC discipline over fused intelligence.
Withstand the pressure of real-time gating under operational urgency.
Pass periodic confidentiality and clearance re-vetting.

Career Path

The NEREID Liaison (O-4) advances to Dispatch Chief (O-5) or laterals into the Intelligence Analyst and Governance tracks. The role works hand-in-hand with the Dispatch Coordinator on the floor and with Legal Counsel on automation ethics.
