WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Conduct end to end penetration testing on AI systems, with a focus on predictive and generative AI models.
• Develop and execute adversarial attacks (e.g., evasion, poisoning, and inference attacks) to identify weaknesses in predictive models.
• Develop and execute adversarial attacks (e.g., jailbreak, hallucination, context leakage, etc.) to identify weaknesses in generative AI models and applications built on top of them.
• Collaborate with data scientists, engineering, and research teams to design and implement novel attacks and relate them back to actionable recommendations.
• Stay current with the latest AI security research, trends, and adversarial tactics.
• Produce detailed reports outlining vulnerabilities, risks, and actionable recommendations.
• Contribute to the development of internal tools and frameworks for AI red teaming.

WHO YOU ARE:

• 3+ years of experience in penetration testing, with at least 1 year focused on AI systems
• Deep understanding of attack techniques specific to machine learning and artificial intelligence systems (data poisoning, inference attacks, model injection, prompt injection, jailbreaking, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with adversarial machine learning techniques and tools (e.g., Foolbox, CleverHans, ART, Purple Llama, Garak, or proprietary solutions).
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Understanding of machine learning concepts and algorithms.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively to anticipate potential attack vectors.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, and experience with AI frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras.
