Requirements
  • Familiarity with common AI security threats such as prompt injection, output manipulation, data poisoning, and hallucination; hands-on testing experience in these areas is preferred.
  • Proficiency in Python programming, with experience using testing frameworks such as pytest, unittest, or others for automated testing.
  • Strong knowledge of RESTful API testing methodologies, and an understanding of model inference interfaces, vector databases, and embedding workflows.
  • Experience with containerization and cloud platforms (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure), with the ability to build and manage test environments and perform resource-level debugging.
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to drive issue resolution and quality improvement across cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities
  • Design and execute system-level and module-level test cases to ensure the correctness and performance of AI security firewall features, including prompt filtering, content moderation, and response policy enforcement.
  • Build and manage test datasets to simulate normal, abnormal, and adversarial prompts; evaluate the model’s ability to detect and defend against potential attacks such as prompt injection or misuse.
  • Validate the overall effectiveness of model integration, including key metrics such as detection accuracy, false positive rate (FPR), and false negative rate (FNR), while continuously improving test coverage.
  • Collaborate closely with R&D, security, and product teams to translate AI security requirements into verifiable test scenarios; participate in bug reproduction and root cause analysis.
  • Set up test environments and conduct ongoing regression and performance/stress testing.
  • Contribute to building hybrid local/cloud-based testing platforms; be proficient in containerized deployment (Docker/Kubernetes) to support flexible testing across multiple model versions and security policy configurations.
  • Stay up to date with industry standards and best practices related to LLM/Generative AI security (e.g., OWASP Top 10 for LLMs), and incorporate relevant threat simulations and validations into test plans.
Desired Qualifications
  • Prior experience in testing AI/ML systems, model deployments, or security-related products is highly desirable.
