Description
At Mistral AI, we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with agentic systems,building products like Mistral Studio and Mistral Vibe that redefine how users interact with AI.
As a Security Researcher, you'll play a pivotal role in safeguarding these innovations by anticipating, identifying, and mitigating risks before they materialize. This isn't just about finding vulnerabilities; it's about shaping the future of secure AI by embedding an attacker's mindset into everything we build.
You'll work at the intersection of offensive security, AI safety, and product development, collaborating with cross-functional teams to harden our systems against evolving threats. Your expertise will directly influence how we design, deploy, and protect our most critical assets , ensuring our agents remain resilient, trustworthy, and ahead of adversaries.
Key responsibilities include:
- Proactively hunting for vulnerabilities in the interactions between our agentic applications, cloud infrastructure, and foundational models, with a focus on realistic, high-impact attack vectors.
- Designing and executing red and purple team exercises, simulating sophisticated adversarial scenarios to stress-test our defenses and refine our detection capabilities.
- Partnering with defensive teams to translate offensive insights into actionable improvements, from detection engineering to incident response.
- Conducting in-depth penetration testing across our product suite, including AI-driven workflows, custom infrastructure, and user-facing interfaces.
- Building and automating offensive tooling to scale your impact, leveraging cutting-edge techniques to stay ahead of emerging threats.
- Communicating findings with clarity and conviction, ensuring technical and non-technical stakeholders understand risks and prioritize mitigations effectively.
- Shaping Mistral AI's security strategy by contributing attacker-informed perspectives to threat modeling, risk assessment, and architectural decisions.
We're looking for someone with 7+ years of offensive security experience, deep knowledge of AI/ML security risks, and hands-on experience assessing modern technology stacks. A builder's mindset, strong intuition for trust boundaries, and outstanding communication skills are also essential.
