About The Role

AI systems are only as safe as the experts who challenge them. We're looking for cybersecurity professionals to stress-test, probe, and harden cutting-edge AI models — finding weaknesses before bad actors do.

If you enjoy thinking like an attacker, crafting clever exploits, and making complex systems more resilient, this role was built for you.

Collaborate with engineering teams to recommend practical mitigations and improvements
Stay current on emerging AI security threats, jailbreak techniques, and evolving best practices
Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols

Who You Are

Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering
Creative and analytical thinker who enjoys breaking things in order to build them better
Excellent written communication and documentation skills
Self-directed and comfortable working independently on async, task-based assignments
