About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
  • At least 6 years of experience in security testing.
  • At least 2 years of experience in AI/ML safety research or a closely related discipline, with a track record of finding real issues in real systems.
  • At least 2 years of practical experience testing or red-teaming LLM or agentic AI systems, including prompt injection, jailbreaks, excessive agency, and tool or plugin abuse; independent research or open-source contributions are acceptable.
  • Working knowledge of at least one AI safety or governance framework, such as NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, or the EU AI Act, and how it translates into concrete engineering requirements.
  • Coding ability in Python and/or JavaScript/Node to build evaluation harnesses and test tooling rather than rely solely on manual testing.
  • Technical writing ability to produce actionable findings and specifications for engineering and governance or compliance stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Design and run safety evaluations for LLM-based features and AI agents, including red-teaming for harmful, biased, or unsafe outputs; jailbreak and guardrail-bypass testing; and systematic benchmarking against known safety failure modes.
  • Design and run security testing for AI systems, including testing for direct and indirect prompt injection, excessive agency, tool or plugin abuse, and confused-deputy risks in agentic and MCP-style tool-calling architectures.
  • Build and maintain a threat model covering the path from user input through model reasoning to tool execution, identifying underlying gaps shared by safety and security failures.
  • Verify that human-in-the-loop and guardrail controls are architecturally sound wherever an AI agent can take consequential actions, rather than merely being present in a user interface that can be circumvented.
  • Scope, brief, and review external red-teaming and penetration-testing vendors; write test specifications and acceptance criteria for AI-specific engagements.
  • Track and apply emerging frameworks, including the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act; translate new research into concrete internal test requirements.
  • Partner with AI/ML engineering teams across business units to incorporate safety and security reviews into system design, not only after implementation.
  • Produce evidence and documentation for AI governance and compliance needs, including ISO/IEC 42001 AI management systems, EU AI Act risk assessments, and internal responsible-AI review processes.
  • Build test tooling as needed, including adversarial-prompt harnesses, automated jailbreak and red-team pipelines, and MCP or tool-schema fuzzers.
  • Mentor engineers on safe and secure AI system design and grow the practice as it scales across teams and products.

Desired Qualifications

  • Direct experience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or comparable agent tool-calling frameworks.
  • Traditional penetration-testing background in web, API, or network testing; OSCP or equivalent.
  • Experience contributing to a formal AI governance or compliance program.
  • Publications, CTF or red-team competition results, or open-source security tooling in AI safety or security.
  • Experience mentoring or building a small safety or security testing team.
  • Relevant certifications are a plus: offensive security or penetration-testing certifications (OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, GPEN, GWAPT, or CEH); AI security certifications (ISC2 AI Security Certificate, EC-Council Certified Offensive AI Security Professional, or Certified AI Security Professional (CAISP)); or AI governance and compliance certifications (ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer, or IAPP AI Governance Professional (AIGP)).

About the Company

RBVC (Robert Bosch Venture Capital) is a global venture capital firm that backs early-stage deep tech startups in areas like energy efficiency, medical devices, and virtual/augmented reality. It supports companies with funding and access to Bosch’s network and resources to help them scale and bring innovations to market. Unlike traditional VCs, RBVC may purchase solutions for a proof-of-concept while allowing startups to keep their intellectual property, which speeds up development and lowers upfront costs. The firm earns money through equity investments and the eventual success of its portfolio. RBVC’s goal is to accelerate technological advances across multiple industries by connecting startups with Bosch’s ecosystem, customers (from medical centers to data centers), and global reach.
