About the role
We are recruiting a Penetration Tester with hands-on experience in testing Generative AI systems, LLMs, or AI-driven bots. In this role, you will lead and support security assessments targeting traditional infrastructure and AI-powered systems, including prompt injection testing, model exploitation, adversarial ML, and AI supply chain vulnerabilities. Collaboration with product, data science, and AI teams to identify and mitigate security weaknesses in AI-driven applications is essential.
Responsibilities
* Conduct penetration tests on web applications, APIs, networks, and infrastructure, including AI-integrated systems.
* Perform red teaming and threat modelling exercises targeting AI models (e.g., LLMs, chatbots, vector databases, orchestration frameworks like LangChain or AutoGen).
* Evaluate AI systems for prompt injection vulnerabilities, data leakage, model abuse, prompt chaining issues, and adversarial inputs.
* Work with development and AI teams to build secure-by-design systems, providing actionable remediation guidance.
* Test model endpoints for issues such as insecure output handling, unauthorized access, or data poisoning.
* Develop or utilize testing tools and frameworks like LLM Guardrails, OpenAI evals, TextAttack, or IBM's ART.
* Create detailed reports with findings, impact analysis, and recommendations for stakeholders.
* Stay informed on the latest threats and vulnerabilities affecting generative AI and machine learning platforms.
