About this role

Help strengthen frontier AI systems by finding novel attack paths before they can be exploited in production. In this full-time, remote role, you will operate as an internal adversary across AI agents, cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and production systems, partnering with engineering teams to make the technology stack more resilient.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct advanced offensive security research across AWS and GCP infrastructure, production services, internal tools, and AI platforms.
  • Design and run realistic adversary simulations against identity systems, cloud control planes, supply chains, and distributed architectures.
  • Identify and exploit vulnerabilities in proprietary applications, APIs, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-enabled developer workflows.
  • Research attack vectors affecting LLMs, AI agents, retrieval systems, MCP integrations, prompt orchestration, and autonomous workflows.
  • Reverse engineer critical services to uncover architectural weaknesses, new exploitation techniques, and previously unknown vulnerability classes.
  • Model insider and advanced persistent threat scenarios, including privilege escalation, lateral movement, and defense evasion in modern enterprise environments.
  • Build offensive tooling, automation frameworks, fuzzers, and proof-of-concept exploits to accelerate vulnerability discovery.
  • Work with infrastructure, product, and AI engineering teams to validate remediations, improve secure-by-design practices, and validate security controls.
  • Publish internal research, document attack methods, and help guide long-term security strategy.
Qualifications
  • Proven experience in offensive security, vulnerability research, red teaming, or exploit development.
  • Deep cloud security knowledge across AWS and GCP, including IAM, networking, Kubernetes, containers, and identity systems.
  • Strong application security, code auditing, reverse engineering, and vulnerability discovery experience.
  • Experience finding weaknesses in software supply chains, CI/CD systems, APIs, and infrastructure automation.
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, Rust, C/C++, or similar languages used for security research and offensive tooling.
  • Strong understanding of operating system internals, networking, authentication protocols, and modern security architectures.
  • Ability to independently investigate ambiguous problems and develop novel attack techniques.
  • Excellent written communication skills and the ability to explain complex vulnerabilities to engineering teams.
  • Preferred experience securing AI and LLM systems, including agentic systems, prompt injection, tool abuse, indirect prompt attacks, jailbreaks, model manipulation, RAG security, or autonomous workflows.
  • Preferred experience discovering zero-day vulnerabilities, developing exploits, or contributing to offensive security research.
Work Terms
  • Full-time, remote position.
Compensation
  • Annual compensation range: $240, 000 to $400, 000.
