I don’t think hiring for this is easy. You need aligned people with good judgement, significant policy experience, and counterfactual impact that is equal to or worse impact than working for LTFF. Plus, ideally good communication ability and a bit of creativity too.
Sure, but if there are 4 people out there with CS backgrounds who fit the bill there are probably a few without who do too.
The other thing is the idea that “policy” is this general thing seems a little off to me. Someone who knows a thing or two about Congress may not have context or network to evaluate something aimed at some corner of the executive branch, to say nothing of evaluating a policy proposal oriented towards another country.

Hmm I think this makes the problem harder, not easier.
