About the role
AI Red Team Engineer to adversarially test LLM-powered systems, automate attacks, and convert findings into evidence for customer demos, security reviews, and sales conversations. Owns end-to-end red-teaming: identify failures, prove them, script tests, and document results.
Responsibilities
- Red-team LLM-powered systems: chatbots, copilots, RAG pipelines, AI agents, tool-calling workflows, and API-based AI products
- Test for jailbreaks, prompt injection, system-prompt and tool leakage, sensitive-data and context leakage, unsafe outputs, policy bypass, tool misuse, excessive agency, resource and token-cost abuse, and business-logic abuse
- Write lightweight Python to automate attacks, run prompt sets, call model APIs, collect and score responses, and generate repeatable reports
- Build and maintain an internal attack library: prompts, scenarios, test cases, regression tests, scoring rubrics, and reusable demo cases
- Turn model failures into clear reports: what happened, why it matters, how to reproduce it, how severe it is, and how to fix it
- Convert successful attacks into regression tests and product requirements
- Track new red-team and safety techniques and fold the useful ones into our tests
- Support GTM by producing strong, credible evidence for customer demos, security reviews, and sales conversations
Qualifications
- Genuinely love breaking things and reasoning adversarially
- Background in QA automation, AppSec, API/security/pen testing, or bug bounty
- Strong Python scripting skills
- Experience testing APIs, web apps, backends, or SaaS products
- Hands-on with LLMs, prompts, system instructions, RAG, agents, and tool/function calling
- Understand LLM-specific abuse vectors (prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, tool misuse, excessive agency, token-cost exhaustion)
- Ability to find bypasses, abuse edge cases, chain failures, and reason about real-world impact
- Ability to separate real customer risk from low-impact prompt tricks
- Write clear, reproducible bug reports in clear English
- Ability to move fast without perfect requirements
- Firm ethical line: red-team to improve safety, operate within scope and law, avoid harmful material
