TLDR
We're looking for an AI Red Team Engineer to break LLM-powered systems responsibly, automate the repetitive attacks, and turn their findings into clear evidence that powers customer demos, security reviews, and sales conversations. You'll own hands-on adversarial testing end to end: find the failure, prove it, script it, and write it up.
About Us
White Circle is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.
We’ve raised $11M from top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others We process over one hundred million API calls every month We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model
We’re a small, highly focused team. If you want to work deeply on hard problems, see your work ship to production quickly, and influence how AI safety is actually built – you’re the one we need.
You will:
- Red-team LLM-powered systems: chatbots, copilots, RAG pipelines, AI agents, tool-calling workflows, and API-based AI products.
- Test for jailbreaks, prompt injection, system-prompt and tool leakage, sensitive-data and context leakage, unsafe outputs, policy bypass, tool misuse, excessive agency, resource and token-cost abuse, and business-logic abuse.
- Write lightweight Python to automate attacks, run prompt sets, call model APIs, collect and score responses, and generate repeatable reports.
- Build and maintain an internal attack library: prompts, scenarios, test cases, regression tests, scoring rubrics, and reusable demo cases.
- Turn model failures into clear reports: what happened, why it matters, how to reproduce it, how severe it is, and how to fix it.
- Convert successful attacks into regression tests and product requirements.
- Track new red-team and safety techniques and fold the useful ones into our tests.
- Support GTM by producing strong, credible evidence for customer demos, security reviews, and sales conversations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll fit right in if you:
- Genuinely love breaking things and reasoning adversarially.
- Have a background in QA automation, AppSec, API/security/pen testing, or bug bounty.
- Have strong Python scripting skills.
- Have experience testing APIs, web apps, backends, or SaaS products.
- Are hands-on with LLMs, prompts, system instructions, RAG, agents, and tool/function calling.
- Understand LLM-specific abuse vectors (prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, tool misuse, excessive agency, token-cost exhaustion).
- Can find bypasses, abuse edge cases, chain failures, and reason about real-world impact.
- Can separate real customer risk from low-impact prompt tricks.
- Write clear, reproducible bug reports in clear English.
- Can move fast without perfect requirements.
- Hold a firm ethical line: you red-team to make systems safer, operate within scope and the law, and don't produce or traffic in genuinely harmful material.
