About the role

Evaluate AI models for cybersecurity vulnerabilities and potential misuse.

  • As a Cybersecurity Red Teamer, you will evaluate whether AI models can be manipulated into generating functional malware, viable exploit code, attack tooling, or step-by-step operational guidance that would give a threat actor meaningful uplift in carrying out cyberattacks.
  • Key Responsibilities Design technically grounded adversarial prompts that test whether models provide meaningful uplift across the cyber kill chain (reconnaissance through exfiltration and impact) Evaluate model-generated code and technical output for functional correctness, assessing whether outputs represent real exploits, plausible attack tooling, or non-functional noise Test model behavior across offensive categories including malware generation, vulnerability exploitation, social engineering content, credential harvesting, privilege escalation, C2 infrastructure setup, and data exfiltration techniques Requirements Deep cybersecurity expertise is essential Ability to look at a model-generated payload, exploit chain, or attack plan and assess whether it would actually work, how much refinement it would need, and what class of attacker it would meaningfully help Simulate attacker personas at varying skill levels (opportunistic, intermediate, advanced/APT) to assess how model risk scales with user sophistication
