Security Lead, Agentic Red Team

Core responsibilities:

• Direct a specialized red team focused on rapid, high-impact engagements targeting production-level AI models and systems
• Develop and carry out advanced attack sequences focusing on vulnerabilities unique to GenAI, such as escalating privileges through tool usage, poisoning data, and executing multi-turn prompt injections
• Design automated validation systems by collaborating with Google teams to engineer "Auto RedTeaming" solutions that transform manual vulnerability discoveries into robust, automated regression testing frameworks
• Engineer technical countermeasures by creating innovative defense-in-depth frameworks and control systems to mitigate agentic logic errors and non-deterministic model behaviors

This role advances AI safety by bridging manual exploration with automated regression pipelines, ensuring non-deterministic risks are identified, measured, and mitigated before deployment, ultimately helping to close the "Agentic Launch Gap" where novel AI capabilities outpace traditional security reviews.

Required skills and experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience in Red Teaming, Offensive Security, or Adversarial Machine Learning
• Deep technical understanding of LLM architectures and agentic workflows (e.g., chain-of-thought reasoning, tool usage)
• Proven ability to work in a consulting capacity with product teams, driving security improvements in fast-paced release cycles
• Experience managing or technically leading small, high-performance engineering teams
