AI Red Team Simulation Researcher

Aria Watanabe

Full-time · Job · New_York

About the role

Velvix Labs holds a weekly paper reading session that everyone attends. Two of our current researchers have backgrounds at top AI safety organizations. If that sounds like your environment, read on. We're building systematic red-teaming frameworks for large language models — not the kind where a human types adversarial prompts, but automated simulation pipelines that generate and evaluate millions of adversarial scenarios per run. In this senior research role, you'll design those simulation architectures, develop novel attack taxonomies, and evaluate model responses using a combination of automated metrics and human review sampling. The output of your work directly informs model safety decisions at companies licensing Velvix's safety evaluation services. This is foundational safety research with immediate applied impact. Top-of-market compensation because safety research should attract the best minds in the field.

Responsibilities

  • Design automated red-teaming simulation frameworks for large language models
  • Develop adversarial attack taxonomies and scenario generation pipelines
  • Build evaluation systems combining automated scoring and human review sampling
  • Publish research findings internally and externally
  • Advise client AI teams on red-teaming methodology and risk prioritization

Requirements

  • PhD or 6+ years research experience in ML safety, security, or NLP
  • Deep understanding of adversarial attacks on language models
  • Strong Python and PyTorch skills
  • Track record of research publication preferred
  • Ability to communicate risk findings to non-technical executive stakeholders

Benefits

  • Remote-first research environment
  • Top-of-market total compensation including equity
  • Dedicated research time with no KPI constraints
  • Annual conference travel budget ($5,000)
  • Full health, dental, and vision with premium coverage
