About the Role
Citi's Offensive Security and Vulnerability Management (OSVM) team is hiring practitioners who can run security assessments against AI systems and use AI-powered tools to make security testing faster and more effective.
The AI Offensive Security Analyst is an operational role on a team that runs penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and Red Team adversarial evaluations across Citi's application portfolio. The AI dimension is twofold: you'll test AI systems as a target, and you'll use AI tools as part of how you work. We're looking for someone to help build the tools from scratch and who knows how to get the most out of them, knows their limits, and can operate in an environment where the right approach isn't always obvious yet.
