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.

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.
