  2. Automated Security Tooling: Design and develop AI-powered automated security detection tools. Utilize Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to enhance threat detection, anomalous behavior analysis, and vulnerability discovery efficiency.
  3. Security Operations & Auditing: Participate in building Agent behavior auditing and anomaly detection systems to identify runtime malicious behavior chains. Help construct an AI-driven Security Operations platform to automate alert triage, attack attribution, and incident response strategy generation.
  4. Security Guardrails Implementation: Co-design and implement Agent security guardrails, including input filtering, output sanitization, tool call permission controls, and sandbox isolation.
  5. Frontier Research & Adversarial Defense: Track and research cutting-edge security threats in the AI/Agent ecosystem (e.g., prompt injection, tool abuse, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, supply chain attacks). Explore, design, and deploy robust defense solutions tailored to real-world business scenarios.


Who You Are

  2. Frameworks & Frameworks: Deep familiarity with security frameworks such as OWASP Top 10 for LLM and MITRE ATT&CK. Strong understanding of common AI attack vectors, adversarial logic, and mitigation strategies, paired with a strong passion for AI security.
  3. Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with the entire AI product lifecycle (design, development, deployment, and operations). Understanding of cloud-native threat detection and standard infrastructure security. Prior experience in Web3 security and defense is a strong plus.
  4. Technical Skills: Proficient in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go, C++). Capable of building custom security tools from scratch or heavily customizing/extending open-source security platforms.
  5. Soft Skills: Exceptional communication, collaboration, and project management skills. A self-starter with strong continuous learning capabilities, able to own projects independently and convert bleeding-edge research into practical production defenses.
