Red Team Engineer - Science
We are seeking a Red Team Engineer – Science to design, execute, and improve adversarial evaluations of advanced scientific and technical systems. You will investigate how models, tools, and automated workflows behave under challenging, ambiguous, or deliberately manipulated conditions, helping identify weaknesses before they create operational, safety, or security risks. The role combines hands-on experimentation, software engineering, scientific reasoning, and clear communication of complex findings.
Your responsibilities will include developing red-team scenarios, test harnesses, datasets, and evaluation protocols; probing systems for reliability, misuse potential, unsafe outputs, data leakage, and unexpected behaviours; and analysing results to distinguish isolated failures from systematic vulnerabilities. You will work with research and engineering teams to reproduce issues, recommend mitigations, validate fixes, and track risks through to resolution. You may also contribute to threat modelling, internal standards, technical reports, and presentations for both specialist and non-specialist audiences. The role requires creativity and persistence, as well as the judgement to prioritise findings according to likelihood, impact, and exploitability.
Applicants should have professional or research experience in software engineering, security engineering, machine learning, scientific computing, or a related discipline. Strong programming ability, particularly in Python and common testing or data-analysis frameworks, is expected, along with experience building reliable experiments and interpreting quantitative and qualitative evidence. You should be comfortable working with unfamiliar systems, designing tests from first principles, and documenting results precisely. Experience with adversarial machine learning, application security, model evaluation, risk analysis, laboratory or computational science, or responsible disclosure is advantageous. We value intellectual curiosity, an evidence-driven approach, sound ethical judgement, and the ability to collaborate effectively in a fast-moving, multidisciplinary environment.
