## Responsibilities

– Design adversarial prompts to stress-test frontier AI models.

– Identify jailbreaks, unsafe behaviours, hallucinations, and policy failures.

– Evaluate model robustness across misinformation, cyber, biosecurity, fraud, political content, and other sensitive domains.

– Document vulnerabilities and contribute to safety benchmarking and red-teaming reports.

– Collaborate with AI researchers to improve model alignment, robustness, and safety.

## Required Qualifications

– Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Journalism, Communications, Psychology, Biology, Chemistry, Public Policy, or a related discipline.

– 5+ years of professional experience in AI Safety, AI Red Teaming, Trust & Safety, cybersecurity, investigative journalism, life sciences, or a related field.

– Strong analytical reasoning, prompt design, and written communication skills.

– Experience designing adversarial prompts or evaluating frontier AI systems.

## Preferred Qualifications

– Experience with AI Red Teaming, RLHF, SFT, AI Alignment, or Trust & Safety.

– Familiarity with jailbreak testing, prompt engineering, or adversarial evaluation methodologies.

– Expertise in one or more grey-area domains, including cyber, biosecurity, political content, misinformation, or scientific safety.

## Why Join?

– Help secure and strengthen the next generation of frontier AI models.

– Work on cutting-edge adversarial testing alongside leading AI researchers and safety teams.

– Influence how AI systems respond to complex, real-world safety challenges.
