About the role

Red Teaming Fellowship Washington D.C.About 10a Labs: 10a Labs is the safety and threat-intelligence layer trusted by frontier AI labs, AI unicorns, Fortune 10 companies, and leading global technology platforms. Our adversarial red teaming, model evaluations, and intelligence collection enable engineering, safety, and security teams to stay ahead of evolving threats and deploy AI systems safely.

About the role: As a Red Teaming Fellow, you will help evaluate the safety, security, and reliability of advanced AI systems. Fellows work alongside researchers, engineers, and subject-matter experts to identify vulnerabilities, uncover failure modes, and generate insights that help organizations deploy AI systems more safely. This is a hands-on fellowship at the intersection of AI, security, and adversarial testing. Fellows will contribute to real-world evaluations of frontier models and AI-enabled systems, helping design and execute tests that probe how models behave under challenging or unexpected conditions.

In this role, you will:

Conduct adversarial testing of AI systems across safety, security, and misuse scenarios
Design and execute red teaming exercises against models, agents, and AI-enabled applications
Develop prompts, attack strategies, and test cases to identify vulnerabilities and failure modes
Analyze model behavior and document findings in clear, actionable reports
Support the development of evaluation frameworks, taxonomies, and testing methodologies
Research emerging AI threats, attack techniques, and risk trends
Collaborate with engineers, researchers, and subject-matter experts to investigate emerging risks and threat vectors
Develop front-end dashboards and other visualizations

Qualifications:

Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics, Political Science, International Relations, or a related field
Strong interest in AI safety, cybersecurity, red teaming, or adversarial testing
Familiarity with AI abuse including jailbreaking, system prompt extraction, indirect prompt injection, data exfiltration, etc.
Strong analytical, research, problem-solving, and communication skills
Ability to think creatively from an adversarial perspective
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a remote environment
Experience with Python, Bash, large language models, AI systems, cybersecurity, or research methodologies preferred
Proficiency in a language other than English preferred

Benefits:

Flexible start / end dates

Hourly pay commensurate with experience and qualifications$25 per hour for undergraduate students$32.50 per hour for graduate students

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
