Responsibilities
- Conduct rapid security assessments of agentic services for generative-AI vulnerabilities, including prompt injection, tool-use escalation, and autonomous lateral movement.
- Engineer and execute attack sequences targeting non-deterministic model behavior, agentic logic errors, and data-poisoning vectors.
- Convert manual vulnerability discoveries into automated regression-testing frameworks for future model versions.
- Partner with developers during design and build phases to provide immediate offensive-security feedback and defensive engineering guidance.
- Maintain and expand a library of agent-specific attack patterns and exploit primitives for model release criteria.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent practical experience.
- At least 5 years of experience in red teaming, offensive security, or adversarial machine learning.
- Experience with large language model architectures, agentic workflows, and AI vulnerability classes.
- Experience developing exploits for generative-AI models, including prompt injection, adversarial examples, and training-data extraction.
- Excellent coding skills in Python, Go, or C++, including experience building security tools or automation.
- Preferred: consulting experience with product teams or in a startup-like environment.
- Preferred: familiarity with AI safety benchmarks, evaluation frameworks, and fuzzing techniques.
- Ability to translate complex probabilistic risks into actionable engineering fixes for developers.
Benefits
- Benefits are provided through Google.
- The posting describes a mission-driven, interdisciplinary environment with learning opportunities and varied career pathways.
