Job Summary

The AI Security Research Engineer will be responsible for risk-testing production agents, focusing on the unique challenges posed by live Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic systems. This role emphasizes the development of repeatable, quantifiable risk signals to directly inform product underwriting.

Responsibilities

• Design and own the core adversarial test stack for AI agents, focusing on red-teaming techniques such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, tool-abuse, data exfiltration, and agentic-specific attack chains.
• Develop threat models for various AI agent deployments to enhance security measures.
• Transform identified vulnerabilities into structured, repeatable risk signals aligned with frameworks like OWASP, MITRE, ATLAS, and NIST AI RMF.
• Investigate emerging attack vectors targeting AI agents and integrate mitigation strategies into existing methodologies.
• Collaborate directly with customers' engineering teams to validate findings and reproduce identified issues.

Qualifications

• 1 to 5 years of hands-on offensive/red-teaming experience with familiarity in frameworks such as Promptfoo, Garak, Giskard, and PyRIT.
• Proficiency in threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing.
• Capable of building custom tools rather than just executing existing ones.
• Proven track record in bug bounty programs or platforms like HackerOne.
• Self-directed and innovative, as the role requires defining foundational processes early in the development stage.

Preferred Skills

• Experience within AI governance or at an AI security startup.
• Knowledge of agent frameworks and an understanding of how agents can fail in a production environment.
• Background in risk quantification is beneficial.

Experience
