About this role

Researcher, Automated Red Teaming San Francisco, California, United States About the team Preparedness is a critical Safety Research team at OpenAI, which is focused on mitigating AI threats to global security that could scale to an extreme level of severity. Our work involves: - Measurement. Monitoring and predicting the evolving capabilities of frontier AI systems. - Mitigation. Keeping misuse safeguards, alignment tools, and security measures on track to adequately address extreme threats that might arise in the future. - Coordination. Setting mitigation targets by maintaining OpenAI's preparedness framework , and partnering with other staff to achieve these targets. This is urgent, fast-paced work that has far-reaching implications for the company and for society. About the role This role leads the Automated Red Teaming (ART) effort: building scalable, research-driven systems that continuously uncover failure modes in our models and safeguards, and translate those findings into actionable, production-facing improvements. The goal is to reduce expected harm by finding the highest-leverage, least-covered weaknesses early and reliably. In this role, you'll: - Own the research and technical direction for automated red teaming across catastrophic risk areas, with an initial emphasis on: - Automated classifier jailbreak discovery (cyber and bio). - Automated bio threat-development elicitation (worst-feasible planning uplift). - CoT monitoring evasion probing (and adjacent loss-of-control evaluations). - Partner closely with: - Vertical risk teams (Cyber, Bio, Loss of Control) to define threat models, prioritize targets, and land mitigations. - The Classifiers team to turn discovered attacks into training data, evals, and measurable robustness gains.
