  • Have experience with threat modeling, red teaming, and designing complex attack scenarios, ideally in modern cloud or AI/ML-heavy environments.
  • Are comfortable scoping and owning end-to-end engagements, from discovery and exploitation through reporting and remediation guidance.
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly explain risk, impact, and remediation steps to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Demonstrate high attention to detail and a methodical, documented approach to testing.

More details about the role:

  • You will work directly with applied AI engineers & CTO.
  • Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
  • There is up to 40 hours of work available per week; we ask for a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week.
