Job summary

AuraOne, Inc. is seeking an AI Safety Red Teamer for a remote contractor role focused on stress-testing AI systems with adversarial prompts. You design attack scenarios, document failures, and tie each jailbreak to a policy clause to drive patches.

You will score defenses, triage new attack vectors, and maintain a library of attack patterns while collaborating with the safety team. Must be able to work asynchronously at least 10 hours per week from US time zones.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience red-teaming AI systems, security research, or adversarial ML work.
• Strong written communication — your reports become the patch ticket.
• Comfort working in policy-grey areas with clear documentation of what was attempted and why.
• Familiarity with prompt-injection, jailbreak, and policy-bypass taxonomies.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Responsibilities

• Design adversarial prompts that probe known weakness classes (jailbreak, policy bypass, prompt injection) for AI Safety Red Teamer assignments.
• Document every successful attack with reproduction steps and the policy clause it violated.
• Score model defenses across single-turn and multi-turn conversations.
• Triage emerging attack vectors and route them to the safety team with severity ratings.
• Maintain a personal library of attack patterns and propose new red-team rubrics.
• Calibrate against the broader red-team cohort to keep coverage and severity consistent.

AI Safety Red Teamer evaluation

Job description

AI Safety Red Teamer is a remote red-team track for stress-testing AI systems against adversarial prompts. Reviewers craft attack scenarios, document the failure mode, and pair each successful jailbreak with the rubric clause it violated so the safety team can patch the gap.

Why this role matters

Adversarial evaluation is how AuraOne hardens AI models before they ship to customers. Reviewers think like attackers and write up failures with enough rigor that the modeling team can reproduce, fix, and regress-test them.

Responsibilities

• Design adversarial prompts that probe known weakness classes (jailbreak, policy bypass, prompt injection) for AI Safety Red Teamer assignments.
• Document every successful attack with reproduction steps and the policy clause it violated.
• Score model defenses across single-turn and multi-turn conversations.
• Triage emerging attack vectors and route them to the safety team with severity ratings.
• Maintain a personal library of attack patterns and propose new red-team rubrics.
• Calibrate against the broader red-team cohort to keep coverage and severity consistent.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience red-teaming AI systems, security research, or adversarial ML work for AI Safety Red Teamer work.
• Strong written communication — your reports become the patch ticket.
• Comfort working in policy-grey areas with clear documentation of what was attempted and why.
• Familiarity with prompt-injection, jailbreak, and policy-bypass taxonomies.
• Reliable async availability for at least 10 hours per week.

Example tasks

• Construct a 5-turn adversarial conversation that bypasses a specific policy clause and write up the patch ticket.
• Score a model's defenses against a known jailbreak pattern across 20 variants.
• Propose a new red-team rubric category after spotting an emerging attack vector.
• Reproduce a failure another reviewer reported and confirm the severity tag.

Nice to have

• Background in offensive security, AppSec, or trust & safety operations.
• Experience publishing or reproducing public adversarial-ML research.
• Multilingual fluency for cross-language attack testing.

Skills

• Adversarial prompting
• Red-team analysis
• Policy taxonomy
• Failure documentation
