• Model deployment environments (APIs, plugins, agents, RAG pipelines)
• Training, evaluation, and inference pipelines
• Data ingestion, labeling, and governance controls
• Design and execute AI-specific threat emulation aligned to real-world adversaries, misuse scenarios, and emerging attack techniques (e.g., prompt injection, data poisoning, model inversion, jailbreaks, supply chain risks)
• Develop and maintain custom AI red team tooling, frameworks, and automation to scale testing and improve repeatability
• Perform security research into emerging AI attack techniques, model vulnerabilities, and defensive gaps
• Partner with detection, engineering, and governance teams to support purple-team and control validation activities
• Contribute to AI security standards, testing guidance, and program strategy
• Mentor and provide technical leadership to red team engineers
