Role details
Job description
Full-time | Remote | Adversarial ML | Reports to Head of Risk
About Elloe
Elloe is the trust layer for AI. We sit between the world’s most powerful language models and the institutions that can't afford to get it wrong — hospitals, banks, regulators. We trace and block failures in real time. That’s not marketing — we’re deployed at the European Commission, with NIH clinical trials, and inside a Top-5 EU bank catching GDPR violations live.
This is the enforcement layer GenAI has been missing. We're not visualizing problems — we're fixing them.
About the Role
Elloe’s safety loop only works if we can simulate attacks before they reach real users. You’ll drive red teaming at the system level — from jailbreaking to fuzzing and help shape the defense logic in AutoHeal and ReplayHeatmap.
What You’ll Build
- Red Team Simulation Engine
- Launch adversarial attacks (prompt injections, bypass chains, logic traps)
- Generate incident traces used to train AutoHeal patch logic
- Contribute to fuzzing harnesses, risk scoring, and breach labeling
- Security Patch Forecasting
- Forecast deployment risks based on incident graph trends
- Automate “patch windows” based on SHAP mismatch clusters
- Help convert audit traces into product-stoppable violations
- System-Level Defense
- Build explainability-linked guardrails across the stack
- Collaborate with infra and explainability leads on enforcement crossover
Who You Are
- Deep experience in adversarial ML, red teaming, or fuzz testing
- Understands how explainability can be a security surface
- Bonus: experience with threat modeling, diff-testing, or jailbreak detection
Why It Matters
Red teaming isn’t an afterthought. It’s how Elloe gets trusted to run in places that can’t afford to fail.
Why Now
Major regulators are asking for test results before they approve AI deployment. Institutions want defensible logs, not theoretical attacks. This is the moment when red teaming goes from research to required.
You’ll Leave This Role With
- A safety portfolio tied to real red team incidents, not just demos
- Impact on critical infrastructure used by hospitals, central banks, and governments
- A seat at the table defining what trustworthy GenAI actually means
Logistics & Application
- Start Date: Flexible (Q3 ideal)
- Location: Remote-first; timezone overlap with NY or DC preferred
- Comp: Competitive salary + equity
- To Apply: Share one failure mode you’d simulate in a next-gen red team harness.
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.
