AI Security Researcher/Research Engineer
We are seeking an AI Security Researcher/Research Engineer to investigate emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and defensive techniques across artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. You will help assess the security, reliability, and resilience of models, data pipelines, agents, and supporting infrastructure, translating research findings into practical improvements. This role is suited to someone who enjoys working across theoretical research, hands-on experimentation, and engineering implementation in a fast-changing technical environment.
Your responsibilities will include designing and executing evaluations of model behaviour, adversarial robustness, privacy, data poisoning, prompt injection, model extraction, misuse, and other relevant attack or failure modes. You will develop proof-of-concept attacks, test mitigations, build repeatable assessment frameworks, and analyse results using rigorous research methods. You will also contribute to threat modelling, security reviews, technical documentation, internal guidance, and clear reports for both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Where appropriate, you may publish findings, present at conferences or workshops, and collaborate with external researchers and security communities.
We are looking for experience in AI or machine learning security, applied security research, or a closely related field, supported by strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with modern ML frameworks and experimentation practices. Knowledge of areas such as deep learning, large language models, reinforcement learning, secure software development, privacy-enhancing technologies, or offensive security is highly valuable. You should be comfortable forming independent research questions, working with incomplete information, and communicating complex technical issues clearly. A degree or equivalent practical experience in computer science, cybersecurity, machine learning, mathematics, or a related discipline is desirable. Curiosity, sound judgement, attention to detail, and a responsible approach to dual-use research are essential.
