AI Red Team Prompt Injection Analyst

Jackson Li

Contract · Job · New_York

About the role

Every LLM-powered product is a prompt injection attack waiting to happen. Our red team service helps companies find and fix these vulnerabilities before attackers do. We've tested 180 production LLM applications across fintech, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS — and found exploitable injection vectors in 94% of them. You'll be a senior red teamer: designing attack methodologies, crafting novel injection payloads, testing client applications across multiple threat models, and writing remediation reports that engineering teams can actually act on. This isn't academic — you'll test real products handling real user data, and your findings often result in same-day hotfixes. This is a 12-month contract with rolling client engagements. You'll work alongside one other red teamer and a defensive engineer who helps clients implement your recommendations. Each engagement runs 2-4 weeks, and you'll handle 2-3 concurrent engagements at different stages.

Responsibilities

  • Design and execute prompt injection attack campaigns against client LLM applications
  • Craft novel injection payloads tailored to specific application architectures
  • Test across multiple threat models: data exfiltration, privilege escalation, content manipulation
  • Write actionable remediation reports with severity ratings and fix recommendations
  • Develop reusable attack frameworks and testing methodologies
  • Stay current with emerging injection techniques and defensive countermeasures

Requirements

  • 5+ years in security research or penetration testing with LLM focus
  • Deep understanding of prompt injection, jailbreaking, and LLM security
  • Experience with LangChain, OpenAI API, and diverse LLM architectures
  • Strong technical writing for client-facing security reports
  • Ability to think adversarially and systematically about attack surfaces

Benefits

  • Fully remote contract position
  • Premium security consulting rate
  • Exposure to diverse LLM applications and architectures
  • Published case studies with client permission
  • Potential conversion to permanent security lead
