Job description

About the role

Bilingual German STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety 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.
Push on refusal boundaries and dual-use risk before a model ships.

Responsibilities

• Design adversarial prompts that probe known weakness classes (jailbreak, policy bypass, prompt injection) for Bilingual German STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety 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.
