This position is responsible for driving offensive security research, vulnerability discovery, and the development of AI-powered security tooling and automation. The ideal candidate combines deep adversarial security expertise with hands-on AI engineering capability - someone who can identify and exploit weaknesses in complex systems, then build intelligent solutions to defend against them at scale. mindset The successful candidate will bring a strong R&D, with a natural curiosity and discipline to stay at the forefront of the security and AI research landscape - actively identifying new research opportunities. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, and risk teams to embed security intelligence across the firm's technology landscape. Responsibilities: - Perform deep vulnerability research on emerging attack surfaces including LLM-based systems, AI pipelines, model inference endpoints, and prompt injection vectors. - Design, build, and maintain AI harnesses capable of performing security-related tasks, including autonomous vulnerability scanning agents, AI-driven exploit classification systems, intelligent threat detection models, and LLM-assisted code analysis engines. - Research and prototype novel attack techniques and defensive countermeasures, contributing findings to internal knowledge bases, threat models, and security engineering standards - driven by a **proactive R&D mindset and continuous lookout for new research opportunities**. - Analyze source code using both manual review and AI-augmented static analysis to identify and mitigate security weaknesses, logic flaws, and injection vulnerabilities across polyglot codebases. - Conduct offensive security assessments and penetration testing against applications, infrastructure, and AI/ML systems to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before adversaries do. - Identify opportunities to automate and standardize information security controls using AI-driven pipelines, reducing manual effort and improving detection fidelity across supported groups. ## Related Videos - [How to Cause (or Prevent) a Massive Data Breach- Secure Coding and IDOR](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/39-how-to-cause-or-prevent-a-massive-data-breach-secure-coding-and-idor) - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [A walkthrough on Responsible AI Frameworks and Case Studies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/509-a-walkthrough-on-responsible-ai-frameworks-and-case-studies) - [Thinking Differently - How to Make Money from Cyber Attacks & Cheats](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/745-thinking-differently-how-to-make-money-from-cyber-attacks-cheats) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Let’s write an exploit using AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1004-let-s-write-an-exploit-using-ai) ## Related Articles - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Understanding and Mitigating Common Web Vulnerabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/565-understanding-and-mitigating-common-web-vulnerabilities) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts)
