Summary: The AI Security Analyst role focuses on enhancing the safety and reliability of AI systems by conducting red-teaming exercises and evaluating AI outputs for vulnerabilities. This remote contract position allows professionals to leverage their cybersecurity expertise to identify weaknesses in AI models before they can be exploited. The role offers flexibility in hours and the opportunity to work on critical advancements in AI security. Candidates will collaborate with engineering teams to recommend improvements and stay updated on emerging threats in the field.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct red-teaming exercises to surface security weaknesses in AI systems
- Design and execute adversarial prompts and edge-case scenarios to test model guardrails
- Evaluate AI outputs for safety, bias, and policy compliance
- Document vulnerabilities, exploits, and unexpected behaviors in clear, structured reports
- Collaborate with engineering teams to recommend practical mitigations and improvements
- Stay sharp on emerging AI security threats, jailbreak techniques, and evolving best practices
- Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols
Key Skills:
- Solid grounding in cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or vulnerability research
- Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering
- A creative, adversarial mindset — you love finding the cracks in things to make them stronger
- Strong written communication skills for clear, actionable reporting
- Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments
- Familiarity with open-source AI platforms is a plus
- Background in infosec, ethical hacking, or AI safety research is a bonus — but not a dealbreaker
