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.

Roles read 12 Nov 2026, 12:07 UTC

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 2,047 open security postings on the board.

Looking for hourly, remote project work rather than a staff job? AI labs pay security practitioners by the hour to red-team and grade their models: see the AI red-teaming roles.
