Specialty

AI security jobs

Roles whose work is keeping AI systems safe from attack: testing models for prompt injection and jailbreaks, protecting weights and training data, securing the agents companies now ship, and the security teams of the labs that build the models. Each role is picked from its own posting, so a company that merely mentions AI is not on the list.

A role is listed when its title names AI, machine learning, LLMs or agents, or when its posting names at least two AI security topics (prompt injection, adversarial machine learning, model theft, red-teaming models and the like); a single mention is too often a company's mission line. Read from 2,143 open security postings on the board.
