Role Title: AI Jailbreak & Prompt-Injection Security Expert Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging AI Jailbreak & Prompt-Injection Security Experts to contribute to a cutting-edge customer initiative focused on AI safety and robustness. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
- Design and implement advanced methodologies for evaluating AI system safety, focusing on ethical jailbreaks, LLM red teaming, prompt injection, and tool-use abuse scenarios.
- Create comprehensive cross-domain elicitation strategies to uncover multi-turn and complex adversarial bypass patterns in AI models.
- Develop, maintain, and update regression test suites that systematically test for jailbreak susceptibility and prompt-injection vulnerabilities.
- Construct robust evaluation frameworks that stress-test AI models against real-world adversarial threats, aiming to enhance overall system robustness.
- Collaborate with technical stakeholders to translate security findings into actionable improvements for model safety and risk mitigation.
- Document methodologies, findings, and best practices in clear, well-structured written reports and presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications
- 2+ years of expertise in adversarial machine learning, LLM red teaming, AI safety evaluation, or a closely related security domain
- Proven experience researching, testing, or uncovering vulnerabilities related to ethical jailbreaks, prompt injection, tool-use abuse, or adversarial AI attacks.
- Advanced degree (PhD, MS) in computer science, cybersecurity, machine learning, or a relevant discipline, or equivalent operational/professional background.
- High credibility and recognition within the AI security or adversarial ML community—such as published research, open-source tools, or conference presentations.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a strong focus on clear documentation and collaborative problem-solving.
- Prior participation in multi-disciplinary projects or cross-functional AI safety initiatives is a plus.
- Familiarity with current LLM architectures, prompt engineering techniques, and security assessment tools is highly desirable.
Requirements
- Ethical Jailbreaks
- LLM Red Teaming
- Prompt Injection
- Tool-Use Abuse
- Must be eligible to work in Remote

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply to Micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. Micro1 accepts applicants from most countries worldwide, unlike DataAnnotation or Outlier, both of which cap access to a handful of English-speaking countries. Most roles still require strong written and spoken English.
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
What does task-based AI training work actually look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Software Engineering work look like for a AI Jailbreak & Prompt-Injection Security Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Software Engineering, not generic labeling. As a AI Jailbreak & Prompt-Injection Security Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Software Engineering) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Software Engineering background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 1 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
