New York, NY, USA;Zürich, Switzerland.RequirementsBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent practical experience.5 years of experience in Red Teaming, Offensive Security, or Adversarial Machine Learning.Experience with Large Language Model (LLM) architectures, agentic workflows (e.G., chain-of-thought reasoning), and AI vulnerability classes.Experience developing exploits for Gen AI models (e.G., prompt injection, adversarial examples, training data extraction).Preferred qualificationsExperience working in a consulting capacity with product teams or in a fast‑paced "startup-like" environment.Familiarity with AI safety benchmarks, evaluation frameworks, and fuzzing techniques.Ability to translate complex probabilistic risks into actionable engineering fixes for developers.Excellent coding skills in Python, Go, or C++ with experience building security tools or automation.About the roleAs a part of the Agentic Red Team, you are a specialized, high‑velocity unit within Deep Mind Security focused on closing the Agentic Launch Gap—the critical window where novel AI capabilities outpace traditional security reviews. You will be the primary technical executor of adversarial engagements, working with product builders to identify architectural flaws early in the design phase.Your core responsibilities include:Conducting rapid, high‑impact security assessments on agentic services, focusing on vulnerabilities unique to Generative AI such as prompt injection, tool‑use escalation, and autonomous lateral movement.Engineering and executing attack sequences that exploit non‑deterministic model behaviors, agentic logic errors, and data poisoning vectors.Writing code to transform manual vulnerability discoveries into automated regression testing frameworks ("Auto Red Teaming") that prevent regression in future model versions.Partnering directly with developers during the design and build phases to provide immediate feedback, effectively shortening the feedback loop between offensive findings and defensive engineering.Maintaining and expanding a library of agent‑specific attack patterns and exploit primitives to establish release criteria for new models.Salary: US: $174,000–$253,000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits.EEO StatementGoogle is proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
