About Elloe

Elloe is the immune system for AI. We don’t train models — we protect their outputs. We trace every hallucination, enforce every policy boundary, and create an audit trail for every critical LLM interaction.

Our modules (TruthChecker™, AutoRAG™, Autopsy™) are embedded in hospitals, banks, and regulatory sandboxes. Our job is to make sure these systems are safe before anything hits production. This role will help us break, stress-test, and harden the models used by governments and enterprises alike.

About the Role

You’ll red team real-world LLM deployments, design eval harnesses, and help scale Elloe’s output-level safety layer. This isn’t just prompt tuning — it’s forensic risk mapping. You’ll work directly with product and safety leads to uncover failure patterns and codify guardrails for GenAI systems under real-world scrutiny.

What You’ll Own

  1. Red Teaming & Risk Testing
  • Create prompts to trigger hallucinations, policy violations, or failure scenarios
  • Stress test Elloe-protected deployments using open and proprietary models
  • Document behavioral exploits across use cases (healthcare, compliance, gov)
  1. Evaluation Design
  • Build truthsets and scoring rubrics tied to factuality, policy, or ethical standards
  • Benchmark Elloe’s modules across model types (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, open models)
  • Collaborate with product to refine and expand our eval harnesses
  1. Safety Intelligence
  • Identify blind spots in current detection logic
  • Recommend scoring methods or red flag thresholds for deployment
  • Support internal model comparison reports or customer safety audits

Who You Are

  • ML/AI researcher or engineer (undergrad, grad, or early career)
  • Experience working with LLMs, eval sets, and prompt design
  • Strong attention to detail, grounded in safety and adversarial thinking
  • Bonus: exposure to safety benchmarks like TruthfulQA, MMLU, or red teaming tools

Why This Matters

This is real-world alignment, not research theater. You’ll be helping define how AI gets deployed responsibly — with traceability, transparency, and real-time protection.

You’ll leave this role with:

  • Exposure to high-stakes LLM safety deployments
  • Published frameworks or scoring methods used by enterprises
  • Mentorship from technical founders operating at the bleeding edge of AI safety

Logistics & Application

  • Start Date: Rolling
  • Duration: 12–16 weeks
  • Compensation: Research stipend
  • Location: Remote-first; flexible for global candidates
  • To Apply: Share a jailbreak or eval idea you’d love to run against GPT-4.

Why work at Elloe AI

  • Mission-driven culture: The team describes itself as “mission-first, values-led,” focused on making AI safe and trustworthy in critical domains.
  • Small, global team: With ~10 employees across three continents, new hires can have outsized impact and direct exposure to founders.
  • Flexible work options: Job postings list “In-Office or Remote” for most roles, with the Austin HQ operating on-site; typical time on-site is listed as “OnSite Workspace” for HQ, but remote arrangements appear available.
  • High-profile visibility: Being a Top 20 finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 gives the company industry recognition and a startup event pedigree.
  • Meaningful impact: The company’s own metrics (100K+ medical errors prevented, $20M+ biased loans blocked) suggest employees contribute to directly measurable social good.
  • Diverse, distributed team: Team members come from backgrounds including Cerner, SAP, Freshworks, Kenya Power, and others, indicating a mix of enterprise and startup experience.
