  • Familiarity with LLM systems and how AI technology can be misused for cyber operations
  • Proven ability to serve as a final technical authority on complex cases, with a track record of sound judgment on harm potential and offensive uplift
  • Strong SQL, Python, and other data language proficiency for querying data, supporting detection workflows, and validating investigative output
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting findings to senior stakeholders
  • Ability to rapidly context-switch across domains, modalities, and abuse areas in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
  • Ability to clear an insider-threat background check

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Experience working directly with or within frontier AI labs, large technology platforms, or Trust & Safety organizations
  • Experience with threat intelligence frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
