Job Description
About The Role
What if your curiosity and creative thinking could make AI safer for millions of people? We're looking for AI Red Team Testers to do exactly that — systematically probe, challenge, and outwit cutting-edge AI systems to uncover their blind spots before they cause real harm.
This is your opportunity to think like an adversary, explore the edges of what AI can and can't do, and contribute directly to some of the most important safety work happening in the field today. No security or hacking background required — just a sharp, inquisitive mind and a knack for thinking outside the box.
