The position requires a PhD in STEM, strong German language skills, and robust written reporting. It offers flexible remote work from the US and a ~58–62 USD hourly compensation range.

Qualifikationen

• Demonstrated experience red-teaming AI systems, security research, or adversarial ML work for Bilingual German STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety 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.

Aufgaben

• Design adversarial prompts that probe known weakness classes (jailbreak, policy bypass, prompt injection).
• 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.

Jobbeschreibung

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.

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 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.
• 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 Bilingual German STEM Expert (PhD) — AI Safety 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
