Description
As a Senior Security Researcher (Red Team), you will help Pindrop proactively identify and exploit weaknesses across product, cloud, and AI-powered systems so we can strengthen defenses before adversaries do. This role blends hands-on offensive security, GenAI attack simulation, security engineering, and operational partnership with blue-team, product, and AI/ML stakeholders.
- Design and execute red team operations against Pindrop’s GenAI systems, LLM pipelines, RAG architectures, autonomous agents, APIs, SaaS products, and cloud environments, simulating real-world attacks across both traditional and AI-specific attack surfaces.
- Conduct adversarial testing focused on prompt injection, indirect prompt attacks, jailbreaking, model extraction, training-data poisoning, data leakage, inference abuse, and unauthorized output manipulation.
- Use deepfake generation, voice synthesis, and related spoofing techniques to test and attempt to defeat Pindrop’s voice authentication and deepfake detection capabilities, helping identify model robustness and detection gaps.
- Develop novel attack chains that combine GenAI vulnerabilities with infrastructure, application, identity, and API weaknesses to create realistic end-to-end threat scenarios.
- Plan and execute full-scope penetration tests and support bug bounty efforts across Pindrop’s web applications, APIs, SaaS products, and AWS/GCP environments using commercial and open-source offensive tooling.
- Perform architecture reviews, security code reviews, and threat modeling with emphasis on vulnerabilities introduced by AI/ML components, model integrations, and LLM-facing services.
- Build automation for offensive security workflows, testing, compliance checks, alerting, and reporting using Python or similar scripting languages, including AI-native attack tooling where useful.
- Partner closely with SecOps and security engineering to improve detections, tune response workflows, and translate red team findings into practical remediation and defensive improvements.
- Stay current on GenAI security research, adversarial ML techniques, evolving threat intelligence, and relevant regulatory developments, then apply those insights to Pindrop’s security program.
As a Pindropper, you’ll join a rapidly growing company making technology more human with the power of voice. You’ll help shape how Pindrop attacks and defends modern AI-enabled systems, working at the intersection of offensive security, GenAI, deepfake defense, and cloud security. Your work will have direct impact on how we protect voice identity and high-trust customer interactions.
