Compensation

$166000 - $244000

Mission

What you will drive

Core responsibilities:

  • Execute agile red teaming by conducting rapid, high-impact security assessments on agentic services, focusing on vulnerabilities unique to GenAI such as prompt injection, tool-use escalation, and autonomous lateral movement.
  • Develop advanced exploits by engineering and executing complex attack sequences that exploit non-deterministic model behaviors, agentic logic errors, and data poisoning vectors.
  • Build automated defenses by writing code to transform manual vulnerability discoveries into automated regression testing frameworks ("Auto Red Teaming") that prevent regression in future model versions.
  • Embed with product teams by partnering directly with developers during design and build phases to provide immediate feedback, shortening the feedback loop between offensive findings and defensive engineering.

Impact

The difference you'll make

This role creates positive change by advancing AI safety through proactive security assessments, helping to close the "Agentic Launch Gap" where novel AI capabilities outpace traditional security reviews, and ensuring that AI technologies are developed with safety and ethics as the highest priority.

Profile

What makes you a great fit

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.
  • Strong coding skills in Python, Go, or C++ with experience building security tools or automation.
  • Technical understanding of LLM architectures, agentic workflows (e.g., chain-of-thought reasoning), and common AI vulnerability classes.
