AI Summary
Design and execute adversarial testing across foundation models, applications, and data pipelines to identify and reproduce edge-case vulnerabilities. Translate technical findings into actionable remediation guidance and collaborate closely with client teams to validate fixes. Requires expert Python programming, ML framework proficiency, and deep understanding of adversarial ML techniques.
Key Highlights
Hands-on adversarial testing across model, application, agentic layers, and data pipelines
Severity-ranked findings mapped to OWASP Top 10, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, MITRE ATLAS, and EU AI Act
Remediation guidance and retesting to confirm fixes hold
Key Responsibilities
Hands-on adversarial testing across the model, the application and agentic layer, and the data pipeline
Digging deeper into edge-case findings from AI red-team campaigns, turning flagged anomalies into fully understood reproducible vulnerabilities
Severity-ranked findings mapped to OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, MITRE ATLAS, and EU AI Act Article 55 expectations
Remediation guidance that's actually usable, and a retest to confirm the fixes hold
Works shoulder to shoulder with the client's Guardrails and AI red-teaming team
Translates findings into plain language: technical depth for engineers, clear risk picture for stakeholders
Stays embedded well past the first findings, through remediation, to the retest that proves it's fixed

Benefits & Perks
Fully remote working anywhere in Canada
Clear path to grow into staff and principal-level technical influence
Job Description
We are looking for that Individual contributor, who will slot into an existing client team already running Guardrails and AI red teaming for their foundation model suite. The role digs into edge-case vulnerabilities that campaign reports surface but don't fully explain, the ideal candidate will be able to design and train ML models as well as SLM's in the security context.
What You'll Own
- Hands-on adversarial testing across the model, the application and agentic layer, and the data pipeline: multi-turn jailbreaks and guardrail bypass, prompt injection, agent and tool-chain misuse, dangerous-capability evaluation, API abuse, and, where relevant, data poisoning, model inversion and membership inference
- Digging deeper into edge-case findings from AI red-team campaigns, turning a flagged anomaly into a fully understood, reproducible vulnerability
- Severity-ranked findings mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and its Generative AI Profile, MITRE ATLAS, and EU AI Act Article 55 expectations, with evidence and clean reproduction steps
- Remediation guidance that's actually usable, and a retest to confirm the fixes hold
The testing is the craft. The trust is the job. Findings only matter if the right people understand and act on them.
- Works shoulder to shoulder with the client's Guardrails and AI red-teaming team, not at a distance from them
- Translates findings into plain language: technical depth for the engineers, a clear risk picture for anyone less hands-on with the model itself
- Stays embedded well past the first findings, through remediation, to the retest that proves it's fixed.
