Job summary

AI Trainer Jobs is seeking an Applications Security Engineer (AppSec) to work remotely on a red-team track that stress-tests AI systems against adversarial prompts. Reviewers craft attack scenarios, document failure modes, and map each jailbreak to rubric clauses for patching.

You will design adversarial prompts, record reproducible steps, and score defenses across single-turn and multi-turn conversations. This is a contractor, remote-US eligible position with hourly compensation to be confirmed

Qualifications

• Experience red-teaming AI systems or adversarial ML research.
• Strong written reporting to document attack steps and remediation.
• Familiarity with prompt-injection, jailbreaks, and policy-bypass taxonomies.
• Ability to work asynchronously with at least 10 hours per week.

Responsibilities

• Design adversarial prompts that probe known weakness classes.
• Document every successful attack with reproduction steps and the policy clause violated.
• Score model defenses across single-turn and multi-turn conversations.
• Triage emerging attack vectors and route to the safety team with severity ratings.

Application Security Engineer (AppSec) is a remote red-team track for stress-testing AI systems against adversarial prompts.

About the role

Application Security Engineer (AppSec) 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.
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.
Probe AI systems for prompt injection and insecure code. Find the misuse paths.

Responsibilities

• Design adversarial prompts that probe known weakness classes (jailbreak, policy bypass, prompt injection) for Application Security Engineer (AppSec) 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.
