AI Red Team Engineer for LLM Security

The work

You will design and run adversarial security tests against large language models, AI agents, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. The work focuses on finding weaknesses, measuring model behavior, and documenting clear ways to reduce risk.

You will work remotely on a part-time contract, follow detailed project guidelines, and uphold strict ethical and safety standards.

• Create and automate attack prompts, including prompt injection and jailbreak attempts.
• Build test suites for LLMs, agents, RAG pipelines, function calling, and tool use.
• Define scoring rubrics and grade how models respond to adversarial inputs.
• Document reproducible findings with risk ratings and propose practical mitigations.
• Contribute small Python, Bash, or PowerShell scripts and utilities to scale testing.
• Assess attack surfaces involving data exfiltration, web systems, APIs, networks, and infrastructure.

What it pays and takes

This is an intermediate-level contractor role for people with hands-on cybersecurity, penetration testing, and LLM security experience.
