In this role, you'll design and implement secure-by-design architectures, audit our LLM-powered web agent (https://brave.com/blog/ai-browsing/) and chatbot, and help set Brave's direction on how we identify, measure, and reduce security risk across AI products. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Demonstrated experience working on Secure AI (prompt injection attacks and security guardrails)
  • Strong publication record in AI security, ML security, or closely related areas
  • A track record of shipping products and features inside a fast-moving environment
  • Strong coding skills in Python and familiarity with ML frameworks like PyTorch or JAX
  • Experience training, fine-tuning, and evaluating large language models
  • Deep familiarity with large language models and web agents, how they work, and how they are trained
