GenAI CBRNE Cyber Security Expert

Alice, formerly ActiveFence, is a trust, safety, and security company focused on protecting AI-enabled technologies. The GenAI CBRNE & Cyber Red Team Expert will adversarially test GenAI systems against industrial hacking, SCADA, ICS/OT, and CBRNE threats by designing jailbreaks, multi-turn attack scenarios, and model evaluations. The role also involves documenting failure modes, classifying risks, and building repeatable test suites and adversarial datasets.

Responsibilities:

• Run rigorous red-teaming of GenAI models across SCADA, ICS, and CBRNE scenarios. You will be probing for safeguard bypasses, dangerous capability escalation, and unintended disclosure of sensitive OT information
• Design adversarial prompts, jailbreaks, and multi-turn evaluations against industrial hacking scenarios (SCADA, PLCs, DCS, Modbus/DNP3/IEC 60870-5-104/Ethernet-IP, critical infrastructure, hazardous-material facilities)
• Evaluate whether models can be manipulated into assisting attacks via payload generation, ladder logic exploitation, reconnaissance, or aggregating benign inputs into high-risk workflows
• Document failure modes (obfuscation, role-play, decomposition, escalation), classify severity, and report findings to safety/alignment teams
• Build repeatable test suites, adversarial datasets, and risk taxonomies; stay current on GenAI attack techniques and CBRNE/critical-infrastructure threats

Requirements:

• Must be US-based and authorized to work (excluding IL, TX)
• Advanced degree in Cybersecurity, CS, Engineering, Security Studies, CBRNE sciences, or related field - or equivalent professional/military/government experience
• Deep industrial cybersecurity expertise: SCADA, ICS/OT, industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, Ethernet/IP, Profinet), PLCs, cyber-physical attack chains
• Strong CBRNE knowledge, especially its intersection with cyber/digital systems
• Red-team experience: penetration testing, adversarial simulation, vulnerability research, or offensive security
• GenAI red-teaming experience or aptitude: adversarial prompts, jailbreak research, multi-turn testing, LLM safety evaluation
• Practical SCADA/OT hacking exposure: vulnerability research, protocol fuzzing, network architecture analysis
• Adversarial mindset for identifying safeguard circumvention via decomposition, obfuscation, or multi-turn manipulation
• Strong technical writing for documenting methodology, findings, and mitigations
• Hands-on LLM red-teaming, AI safety evals, or jailbreak/prompt research
• Experience building red-team test cases, datasets, benchmarks, or evaluation pipelines
• Familiarity with frontier AI safety concepts, dangerous-capability evals, and responsible scaling frameworks
• Background in offensive security, threat intel, incident response, or adversary emulation
• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK (incl. ICS), NIST frameworks, IEC 62443
• Experience in national security, defense, intelligence, or high-consequence industrial environments
• Relevant offensive-security or ICS/OT certifications
• Deep expertise in one or more: GenAI cyber red-teaming; SCADA/ICS/OT red-teaming; chemical/industrial cyber risk; biological/lab cyber risk; radiological/nuclear cyber risk; or cyber-physical/high-consequence threat analysis
