About the job

As a part of the Agentic Red Team, you will be a specialized, high-velocity unit within DeepMind Security. Your mission is to close the Agentic Launch Gap-the critical window where novel AI capabilities outpace traditional security reviews.

As a Senior Security Engineer on the Agentic Red Team, you will be the primary technical executor of adversarial engagements. You will work with product builders, identifying architectural flaws during the design phase long before formal reviews begin.

Your core focus will be to perform multi-turn attacks on production-level AI models, specifically targeting agentic behaviors like tool usage and reasoning chains. You will not only find vulnerabilities but also help close the loop by contributing to Auto Red teaming frameworks and defensive strategies, ensuring that your findings are codified into reusable guardrails for all Google agent developers.

US: $174000 - $253000 (USD) 15% bonus target equity benefits

Responsibilities
  • Conduct rapid, high-impact security assessments on agentic services, focusing on vulnerabilities unique to Generative AI such as prompt injection, tool-use escalation, and autonomous lateral movement.
  • Engineer and execute attack sequences that exploit non-deterministic model behaviors, agentic logic errors, and data poisoning vectors.
  • Write code to transform manual vulnerability discoveries into automated regression testing frameworks ("Auto Red Teaming") that prevent regression in future model versions.
  • Partner directly with developers during the design and build phases to provide immediate feedback, effectively shortening the feedback loop between offensive findings and defensive engineering.
  • Maintain and expand a library of agent-specific attack patterns and exploit primitives to establish release criteria for new models.
