Job description
from Anthropic careersAbout Anthropic
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
About the Role
We are looking for vulnerability researchers to help mitigate the risks that come with building AI systems. One of these risks is the potential for LLMs to enable adversaries to cause harm by automating the attacks that today are carried out by human cybercrime groups, but in the future may be easily carried out by humans misusing LLMs. We are hiring security specialists who are experienced at exploitation and remediation, and are interested in understanding how LLMs could cause harm in the future, so that we can better prepare for this future and mitigate these risks before they arise.
Responsibilities:
- Triage any vulnerabilities discovered, coordinate and assist the external and open-source community in remediation
- Write scaffolds designed to automate typical traditional attack techniques to help clarify our defensive problem selection
- Research how adversaries might mise-use LLMs to identify and exploit vulnerabilities at scale in the future
