AI Agent Researcher (Security)

Overview

We are partnering with a leading global technology company to hire an AI Agent Security Researcher as part of their expanding security R&D team.

This role focuses on building system-level security mechanisms to safeguard AI-driven functionalities and ensure secure deployment across mobile, PC, and IoT environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement security frameworks for AI agents within an OS environment
• Develop advanced access control models (e.g., Dynamic Least Privilege, intent-based sandboxing)
• Build and enhance security mechanisms such as AI Fence, MCP, and skill-level protection systems
• Identify and mitigate AI/LLM-related risks (e.g., prompt injection, adversarial attacks, over-privileged behaviors)
• Strengthen secure API interactions between AI agents and system services
• Collaborate on system-level security across mobile, PC, and IoT platforms

Requirements

• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, AI, or a related field
• Proficiency in C/C++ for system-level programming (e.g., kernel modules)
• Strong understanding of OS security mechanisms, including:
• Mandatory Access Control (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor)
• Kernel hardening (memory protection, syscall filtering)
• Secure API gateway design
• Knowledge of AI/LLM security risks, such as prompt injection, adversarial ML, and privilege misuse
• Familiarity with mobile/PC security frameworks (e.g., Android SE, iOS sandbox, Linux security modules)
• Experience in OS security (Android/iOS/Linux) is preferred
• Exposure to AI agents or contributions to system security projects (e.g., Linux kernel, Android AOSP) is a plus
