GenAI CBRNE Cyber Expert

Alice (Formerly ActiveFence); United States; On-site; USD 150,000 - 178,000; Full time

Job summary

Alice (Formerly ActiveFence) seeks a GenAI Cyber Red Team Expert to adversarially test safety guardrails of GenAI systems, with a focus on industrial hacking, SCADA, and CBRNE domains.

You will design prompts, jailbreaks, and multi‑turn evaluations, thinking like a malicious actor to uncover safeguard gaps and report findings to safety teams. The role requires hands‑on OT security expertise and strong red‑team skills.

Qualifications

• Must have advanced degree in Cybersecurity, CS, Engineering, Security Studies, CBRNE sciences, or related field, or equivalent professional/military/government experience.
• Deep industrial cybersecurity expertise: SCADA, IC…? industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, Ethernet/IP, Profinet), PLCs, cyber‑physical attack chains.
• Red‑team experience: penetration testing, adversarial simulation, vulnerability research, or offensive security.
• GenAI red‑teaming experience or aptitude: adversarial prompts, jailbreak research, multi‑turn testing, LLM safety evaluation.
• Practical SCADA/OT hacking exposure: vulnerability research, protocol fuzzing, network architecture analysis.

Responsibilities

• Run rigorous red‑teaming of GenAI models across SCADA, IC…?
• Design adversarial prompts, jailbreaks, and multi‑turn evaluations against industrial hacking scenarios (SCADA, PLCs, DCS, Modbus/DNP3/IEC 60870-5-104/Ethernet-IP, critical infrastructure, hazardous‑material facilities).
• Evaluate whether models can be manipulated into assisting attacks via payload generation, ladder logic exploitation, reconnaissance, or aggregating benign inputs into high‑risk workflows.
• Document failure modes (obfuscation, role‑play, decomposition, escalation), classify severity, and report findings to safety/alignment teams.
• Build repeatable test suites, adversarial datasets, and risk taxonomies; stay current on GenAI attack techniques and CBRNE/critical‑infrastructure threats.

Job description

As a GenAI Cyber Red Team Expert, you'll adversarially test and strengthen the safety guardrails of GenAI systems against high-risk cyber threats - with a particular focus on industrial hacking, SCADA systems, and CBRNE domains.

Drawing on deep industrial cybersecurity expertise (hands‑on familiarity with SCADA, Modbus, DNP3, and PLC exploits) alongside CBRNE domain knowledge and advanced AI red‑teaming skills, you'll design sophisticated adversarial prompts, multi‑turn attack scenarios, jailbreaks, and model evaluations to determine when GenAI systems could materially enable physical‑world industrial attacks or cyber‑enabled CBRNE threats.

The role calls for an adversarial mindset: thinking like a malicious actor to find ways AI systems could be manipulated, combining seemingly benign information across interactions, circumventing safeguards, or exploiting model behavior to extract sensitive cyber‑CBRNE information.

Key Responsibilities

• Run rigorous red‑teaming of GenAI models across SCADA, IC…?
• Design adversarial prompts, jailbreaks, and multi‑turn evaluations against industrial hacking scenarios (SCADA, PLCs, DCS, Modbus/DNP3/IEC 60870-5-104/Ethernet-IP, critical infrastructure, hazardous‑material facilities).
• Evaluate whether models can be manipulated into assisting attacks via payload generation, ladder logic exploitation, reconnaissance, or aggregating benign inputs into high‑risk workflows.
• Document failure modes (obfuscation, role‑play, decomposition, escalation), classify severity, and report findings to safety/alignment teams.
• Build repeatable test suites, adversarial datasets, and risk taxonomies; stay current on GenAI attack techniques and CBRNE/critical‑infrastructure threats.

Requirements:

Requirements

• Must be US-based and authorized to work (excluding IL, TX)
• Advanced degree in Cybersecurity, CS, Engineering, Security Studies, CBRNE sciences, or related field - or equivalent professional/military/government experience
• Deep industrial cybersecurity expertise: SCADA, IC…? industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, Ethernet/IP, Profinet), PLCs, cyber‑physical attack chains
• Strong CBRNE knowledge, especially its intersection with cyber/digital systems
• Red‑team experience: penetration testing, adversarial simulation, vulnerability research, or offensive security
• GenAI red‑teaming experience or aptitude: adversarial prompts, jailbreak research, multi‑turn testing, LLM safety evaluation
• Practical SCADA/OT hacking exposure: vulnerability research, protocol fuzzing, network architecture analysis
• Adversarial mindset for identifying safeguard circumvention via decomposition, obfuscation, or multi‑turn manipulation
• Strong technical writing for documenting methodology, findings, and mitigations

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands‑on LLM red‑teaming, AI safety evals, or jailbreak/prompt research
• Experience building red‑team test cases, datasets, benchmarks, or evaluation pipelines
• Familiarity with frontier AI safety concepts, dangerous‑capability evals, and responsible scaling frameworks
• Background in offensive security, threat intel, incident response, or adversary emulation
• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK (incl. ICS), NIST frameworks, IEC 62443
• Experience in national security, defense, intelligence, or high‑consequence industrial environments
• Relevant offensive‑security or ICS/OT certifications
• Deep expertise in one or more: GenAI cyber red‑teaming; SCADA/ICS/OT red‑teaming; chemical/industrial cyber risk; biological/lab cyber risk; radiological/nuclear cyber risk; or cyber‑physical/high‑consequence threat analysis

The salary range for this role in the US is $150K - $178K - Range may vary based on experience. Salary at the time of offer will be commensurate with experience.
