What you'll be doing

• Lead and scale teams across AI security research, AI red teaming, adversarial research, and guardrails engineering.
• Define the AI security research strategy, roadmap, and priorities.
• Lead advanced adversarial testing of LLMs, GenAI applications, agents, and multi-agent systems.
• Research attack techniques including prompt injection, jailbreaks, tool abuse, data leakage, model misuse, and agent manipulation.
• Build and evolve automated AI red-teaming platforms, including RLGym.
• Define and operationalize frameworks aligned with OWASP AI Security, MITRE ATLAS, and NIST AI RMF.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to build guardrails, monitoring, detection, and secure AI deployment practices.
• Drive secure architectures for agentic AI, including MCP and A2A workflows.

• Strong understanding of GenAI and agentic AI security risks.
• Ability to combine strategic leadership with deep technical execution.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration with product, engineering, and executive teams.
• 8+ years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, AI/ML security, security research, or related fields.

Ways to stand out

• Published research or speaking experience at conferences such as Black Hat, DEF CON, or OWASP Global AppSec.
• Experience building AI security products, red-team automation platforms, guardrails, or AI monitoring systems.
• Hands-on experience with LangChain, AutoGen, MCP, A2A, and agentic AI architectures.
