Security Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have a strong background in security engineering, particularly in the context of AI systems. With experience in offensive security, you understand the nuances of behavioral and logical attacks that can compromise AI models. You enjoy thinking like an attacker and are adept at identifying potential vulnerabilities in complex systems. Your ability to articulate risks clearly helps teams build safer AI systems by design.

You have a passion for AI and its implications on security, staying updated on the latest trends and threats in the field. Your collaborative nature allows you to work effectively with AI platform teams, product engineers, and security partners to enhance the security posture of AI applications. You thrive in environments that challenge your problem-solving skills and encourage innovative thinking.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design and execute adversarial red-teaming exercises against AI models and agents, focusing on how they can be manipulated into unsafe or harmful behavior. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to stress-test agent logic and tool usage, translating your findings into actionable guardrails and defenses. Your success will be measured by your ability to uncover unknown vulnerabilities and articulate risks effectively.

You will not be limited to traditional penetration testing; instead, you will focus on identifying subtle yet dangerous failures in AI systems. This involves collaborating with various teams to ensure that security measures are integrated into the development lifecycle of AI products. You will also contribute to the evolution of the security model as AI systems become more embedded in Uber's products and platforms.
