The job description

About the Role

If you've ever looked at a system and instinctively thought about how to break it — this role was built for you. We're looking for security-minded professionals to stress-test AI systems built on the OpenClaw platform. You'll conduct real red-teaming exercises, craft adversarial prompts, and deliver expert feedback that directly shapes the safety and robustness of AI products used at scale.

This is hands-on, high-impact work at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI — one of the fastest-growing and most consequential domains in tech.

What You'll Do

Conduct red-teaming exercises to identify security weaknesses and edge cases in AI systems
Craft adversarial prompts and creative attack scenarios to probe model guardrails
Evaluate AI outputs for safety issues, bias, and policy compliance
Document vulnerabilities, exploits, and unexpected behaviors in clear, structured reports
Collaborate asynchronously with engineering teams to recommend practical mitigations
Stay current on emerging AI security threats, jailbreak techniques, and evolving best practices
Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols

Who You Are

You have a solid understanding of cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or ethical hacking
You've worked hands-on with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering
You're a creative, analytical thinker who enjoys breaking things in order to make them better
You communicate clearly in writing and can document technical findings for diverse audiences
You're self-directed and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments
Familiarity with the OpenClaw ecosystem or similar open-source AI platforms is a bonus
A background in infosec, ethical hacking, or AI safety research is a plus — but not required

Why This Role Stands Out

Real impact: Your findings directly improve the safety and reliability of AI products used by millions
Cutting-edge domain: Work at the frontier of AI security alongside top research teams
Full autonomy: Set your own schedule and work from anywhere in the world
Build rare expertise: Gain deep, practical experience in AI red-teaming — a skill set in extremely high demand
Ongoing opportunity: Strong performers are considered for expanded scope and contract extensions
Collaborative community: Connect and collaborate with a global network of security and AI professionals
