About Job
Internship: AI Safety, Jailbreaking Attacks & Defense, Agentic AI, Human Behavior
(Ph.D. Research Intern)
Company: Centific
Location: Seattle, WA (or Remote)
Type: Full-time Internship
Build the Future of Safe and Responsible AI
Are you advancing the frontiers of AI safety, LLM jailbreak detection and defense, and agentic AI-with publications to show for it? Join us to translate pioneering research into robust security and trustworthy LLM systems that resist adversarial and behavioral exploits.
The Mission
We're tackling cutting-edge AI safety across adversarial robustness, jailbreak defense, agentic workflows, and human-in-the-loop risk modeling. As a Ph.D. Research Intern, you'll own high-impact experiments from concept to prototype to deployable modules, directly contributing to our platform's security guarantees.
What You'll Do
* Advance AI Safety: Design, implement, and evaluate attack and defense strategies for LLM jailbreaks (prompt injection, obfuscation, narrative red teaming).
* Evaluate AI Behavior: Analyze and simulate human-AI interaction patterns to uncover behavioral vulnerabilities, social engineering risks, and over-defensive vs. permissive response tradeoffs.
* Agentic AI Security: Prototype workflows for multi-agent safety (e.g., agent self-checks, regulatory compliance, defense chains) that span perception, reasoning, and action.
* Benchmark & Harden LLMs: Create reproducible evaluation protocols/KPIs for safety, over-defensiveness, adversarial resilience, and defense effectiveness across diverse models (including latest benchmarks and real-world exploit scenarios).
* Deploy and Monitor: Package research into robust, monitorable AI services using modern stacks (Kubernetes, Docker, Ray, FastAPI); integrate safety telemetry, anomaly detection, and continuous red-teaming.
Example Problems You Might Tackle
* Jailbreaking Analysis: Systematically red-team advanced LLMs (GPT-4o, GPT-5, LLaMA, Mistral, Gemma, etc.), uncovering novel exploits and defense gaps.
* Multi-turn Obfuscation Defense: Implement context-aware, multi-turn attack detection and guardrail mechanisms, including countermeasures for obfuscated prompts (e.g., StringJoin, narrative exploits).
* Agent Self-Regulation: Develop agentic architectures for autonomous self-check and self-correct, minimizing risk in complex, multi-agent environments.
* Human-Centered Safety: Study human behavior models in adversarial contexts-how users probe, trick, or manipulate LLMs, and how defenses can adapt without excessive over-defensiveness.
Minimum Qualifications
* Ph.D. student in CS/EE/ML/Security (or related); actively publishing in AI Safety, NLP robustness, or adversarial ML (ACL, NeurIPS, BlackHat, IEEE S&P, etc.).
* Strong Python and PyTorch/JAX skills; comfort with toolkits for language models, benchmarking, and simulation.
* Demonstrated research in at least one of: LLM jailbreak attacks/defense, agentic AI safety, human-AI interaction vulnerabilities.
* Proven ability to go from concept → code → experiment → result, with rigorous tracking and ablation studies.
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience in adversarial prompt engineering, jailbreak detection (narrative, obfuscated, sequential attacks).
* Prior work on multi-agent architectures or robust defense strategies for LLMs.
* Familiarity with red-teaming, synthetic behavioral data, and regulatory safety standards.
* Scalable training and deployment: Ray, distributed evaluation, CI/telemetry for defense protocols.
* Public code artifacts (GitHub) and first-author publications or strong open-source impact.
Our Stack (you'll touch a subset)
* Modeling: PyTorch/JAX, Hugging Face, OpenMMLab, Mistral, LLaMA
* Safety: Red-teaming frameworks, LLM benchmarking (SODE, ART), human behavior simulation
* Systems: Python, Ray, Kubernetes, Docker, FastAPI, Triton, Weights & Biases
* Defense Pipelines: Context-aware filtering, prompt manipulation detection, anomaly telemetry
What Success Looks Like
* A publishable outcome (with company approval) or production-ready module measurably improving safety KPIs: adversarial robustness, over-defensiveness, and incident response latency.
* Clean, reproducible code with documented ablations and end-to-end rerun reports for safety benchmarks.
* A demo that communicates capabilities, limits, and next steps in defense and security assurance.
Why Centific
* Real Impact: Your research ships-directly securing our core features and AI infrastructure.
* Mentorship: Collaborate with Principal Architects and senior researchers in AI safety and adversarial ML.
* Velocity + Rigor: Balance high-quality research with mission-critical product focus.
