Gen AI Security Researcher

About Alice (Formerly ActiveFence)

Alice is a trust, safety, and security company built for the AI era. We safeguard the communicative technologies people use to create, collaborate, and interact—whether with each other or with machines. In a world where AI has fundamentally altered the nature of risk, Alice offers comprehensive coverage across the entire AI lifecycle. We support frontier model labs, enterprises, and UGC platforms with a comprehensive suite of solutions: from model hardening evaluations and pre-deployment red-teaming to runtime guardrails and ongoing drift detection.

The Role: Gen AI Security Researcher

As a Gen AI Security Researcher, you’ll dive deep into the challenges of AI safety, conducting red-teaming operations to identify vulnerabilities in generative AI systems and their infrastructure. You will conduct red-teaming operations for finding and addressing risks to ensure AI models are robust, secure, and future-proof.

Responsibilities as a Gen AI Security Researcher:

• Conduct sophisticated black-box red-teaming operations to uncover vulnerabilities in generative AI models and infrastructure.
• Design new techniques to bypass the latest AI security mechanisms.
• Evaluate and strengthen the security of AI systems, identifying weaknesses and collaborating to implement improvements.
• Work with cross-functional teams to automate security testing processes and establish best practices.
• Stay ahead of emerging trends in AI security, ethical hacking, and cyber threats to ensure we’re at the cutting edge.

Requirements:

Must Have:

• 3+ years in offensive cybersecurity, especially focused on web applications and API security OR Advanced Ph.D. Candidates with a proven record of research in AI/Cybersecurity.
• Strong programming and scripting skills (e.g., Python, JavaScript) relevant to AI security.
• In-depth understanding of AI technologies, particularly generative models like GPT, DALL-E, etc.
• Solid knowledge of AI vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Skills That Set You Apart:

• Certifications in offensive cybersecurity (e.g., OSWA, OSWE, OSCE3, SEC542, SEC522) OR Master's degree and above in Computer Science with a focus on Data Science or AI.
• Experience in end-to-end product development, including infrastructure and system design.
• Proficiency in cloud development.
• Familiarity with AI security frameworks, compliance standards, and ethical guidelines.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment.
