About Mindgard

Mindgard is a London-based startup specializing in AI security.

You will provide actionable analysis for AI vulnerabilities for information security professionals, including: simple explanations, severity analysis, threat models, proofs of concept for use in attacks, and  mitigations.

As part of our collaborative and friendly AI Security R&D team, you'll build the AI security intelligence and detection techniques that power Mindgard's products. You'll work closely with experts in AI security vulnerabilities and red teaming techniques.

• Adding security intelligence for the latest AI security vulnerabilities to the Mindgard product.

• Advising the product engineering team on security teams requirements and the AI security domain.
• Writing, editing, and presenting content that helps the community respond to AI security threats.
• Researching new AI security vulnerabilities and attack techniques.

We're looking for people who are:

• Kind, to collaborate effectively towards the highest quality outcomes.
• Passionate about our mission to help security teams with AI security risks.
• Curious, to deepen your understanding of AI security.
• Pragmatic, helping our customers make the best security tradeoffs.

You'll need to be:

• A domain expert in the application security field, including common vulnerabilities such as XSS, SSRF, RCE, SQL Injection, Deserialization, etc.
• Experienced with security team processes, practices such as threat modeling, and use of tooling such as SAST/DAST/SCA/CSPM/ASPM.
• Comfortable writing vulnerabilities disclosures and crafting security exploits.
• Familiar with responsible disclosure processes.
• Capable of writing code and configuring systems to automate your work and produce proof of concepts.

You'll stand out if you have:
