Misuse Red Team - Research Engineer/Research Scientist
We are seeking a Misuse Red Team Research Engineer/Research Scientist to investigate how advanced AI systems may be misused, manipulated, or deployed in harmful ways. You will design and conduct rigorous adversarial evaluations, develop realistic misuse scenarios, and assess model behaviour across areas such as cyber abuse, fraud, privacy, manipulation, disinformation, and other emerging risks. Your work will help identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited and inform practical improvements to model safeguards, monitoring, and deployment policies.
Responsibilities will include creating evaluation methodologies, red-team prompts, automated test suites, and simulation environments; conducting qualitative and quantitative analysis of model outputs; documenting findings clearly; and collaborating with research, engineering, safety, policy, and product teams to translate results into mitigations. You may also investigate adaptive attackers, jailbreak techniques, tool-use risks, multi-turn interactions, and failures that arise when models are integrated into real-world systems. The role requires balancing creativity with scientific discipline, maintaining careful records of experimental methods, and communicating complex or sensitive results to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Applicants should have strong experience in machine learning, security research, software engineering, social science research, or a closely related field. We value expertise in adversarial testing, threat modelling, large language models, AI safety, abuse prevention, or empirical research, as well as proficiency in Python and experience working with evaluation frameworks, data analysis, or cloud-based systems. A strong candidate will demonstrate sound judgement, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to reason about both technical and human factors. Excellent written and verbal communication, comfort working with ambiguity, and a commitment to responsible disclosure and ethical research are essential. Experience taking projects from initial hypothesis through experimentation, analysis, and actionable recommendations is highly desirable.
