Adversarial Machine Learning Engineer

Full-time

C-serv

The Opportunity

 

We are building a dedicated AI Red Team to rigorously test and harden enterprise-scale AI products.

We are looking for an adversarial machine learning specialist who thinks like an attacker.

This role focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in LLM-driven systems, breaking model guardrails, exploiting data pathways, and stress-testing AI deployments before they reach enterprise customers.

This is a hands-on technical role at the core of AI security.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct adversarial testing across LLM and AI-based systems
  • Execute real-world attack simulations, including:
  • Prompt injection
  • Jailbreaking and guardrail bypass
  • Data exfiltration attempts
  • Model inversion and evasion techniques
  • RAG manipulation
  • Develop scripts and tooling to automate attack scenarios
  • Analyse model behaviour under adversarial pressure
  • Identify systemic vulnerabilities in:
  • APIs
  • Embedding pipelines
  • Vector databases
  • Fine-tuned model implementations
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to validate remediation
  • Document findings clearly and concisely

 

You will help ensure AI systems are resilient before they are deployed at scale.

What We’re Looking For

 

Core Technical Skills

  • Strong experience in adversarial ML or AI security research
  • Experience working with LLM-based systems (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models, etc.)
  • Deep understanding of:
  • Prompt injection techniques
  • Model jailbreak methodologies
  • AI system exploitation vectors
  • Strong Python skills
  • Experience building custom attack tooling or experimentation frameworks

 

AI Systems Knowledge

  • Familiarity with:
    • RAG architectures
    • Vector databases
    • Model fine-tuning workflows
    • API-based model deployments
    • Understanding of model safety mechanisms and guardrails

 

Nice to Have

  • Background in cybersecurity or penetration testing
  • Familiarity with OWASP LLM Top 10
  • Experience working in enterprise environments

 

 

Who You Are

  • Curious and relentless
  • Comfortable thinking like an attacker
  • Creative in finding non-obvious vulnerabilities
  • Detail-oriented but fast-moving
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity
  • Independent but collaborative

 

You don’t just run test cases — you design new ones.

  • Comprehensive Private Medical Coverage
  • Support for Mental Health Expenses
  • Life Insurance Options
  • Attractive Compensation Package
