Senior AI Security Researcher

Agoda seeks a Senior AI Security Researcher to proactively find and exploit vulnerabilities, prioritizing internet-facing attack paths. The role involves building autonomous agents that interact with AI models to hack and test systems, conducting jailbreaks, and researching security weaknesses in AI infrastructure. The candidate will apply offensive security skills to AI-driven products, produce CVE-quality research, and collaborate with engineering teams to implement fixes. Responsibilities include assessing Model Context Protocol systems, designing defensive controls, and presenting findings to stakeholders.

The ideal candidate must have a Bachelor's in Computer Science, 2–7 years of offensive cybersecurity experience, and published CVEs. Strong knowledge of API security, red teaming, and hands-on jailbreak experience are required. The role demands the ability to work with multiple teams, communicate risks clearly, and handle production-level code.
