About the role

  • Enterprises rely on Pindrop to secure billions of high-risk customer interactions each year, including top U.S. banks, as well as leading insurers and healthcare providers.
  • Powered by models trained on more than 1.5 billion real-world interactions annually and protected by 300+ patents, Pindrop restores trust while reducing fraud, lowering operational costs, and improving customer experience.
  • Recognized by TIME as one of the Top 10 Most Influential Software Companies of 2026 and by Inc. for Best in Business for Innovation, Pindrop is backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, IVP, and CapitalG.

Responsibilities

  • Design and execute red team operations against Pindrop's GenAI systems, LLM pipelines, RAG architectures, autonomous agents, APIs, SaaS products, and cloud environments, simulating real-world attacks across both traditional and AI-specific attack surfaces.
  • Develop novel attack chains that combine GenAI vulnerabilities with infrastructure, application, identity, and API weaknesses to create realistic end-to-end threat scenarios.
  • Plan and execute full-scope penetration tests and support bug bounty efforts across Pindrop's web applications, APIs, SaaS products, and AWS/GCP environments using commercial and open-source offensive tooling.
  • Perform architecture reviews, security code reviews, and threat modeling with emphasis on vulnerabilities introduced by AI/ML components, model integrations, and LLM-facing services.
  • Build automation for offensive security workflows, testing, compliance checks, alerting, and reporting using Python or similar scripting languages, including AI-native attack tooling where useful.
  • Partner closely with SecOps and security engineering to improve detections, tune response workflows, and translate red team findings into practical remediation and defensive improvements.
  • As AI-driven fraud and deepfakes erode trust in digital communication, Pindrop delivers continuous identity verification and deepfake detection across voice, video, and digital interactions in real time.

Requirements

  • You are an adversarial thinker who approaches security from an attacker's perspective and brings the creativity, rigor, and curiosity to prove it.
  • You have genuine hands-on experience attacking AI systems, not just reading about them, and you enjoy breaking assumptions that others consider safe.
  • You work independently and thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with minimal supervision.
  • You are resilient, optimistic, accountable, and adaptable when priorities shift.
  • 3+ years of hands-on penetration testing and red team experience across SaaS applications, cloud infrastructure, APIs, and web applications.
  • Demonstrable experience attacking GenAI or LLM-based systems, including prompt injection, jailbreaking, indirect prompt attacks, model extraction, or adversarial input generation.
  • Hands-on experience with deepfake tools, voice synthesis, or audio/visual spoofing technologies in an offensive or research context.
  • Strong proficiency with offensive security tooling such as Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, or equivalent frameworks.
  • Experience configuring and operating SAST and DAST tools and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with AI-specialized security tools or frameworks such as Garak, PyRIT, Claude Security, or similar adversarial ML tooling.

Nice to have

  • Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language, with Python strongly preferred, for custom attack tooling and workflow automation.
