Microsoft Red team is launching the AI Adversary Lab (AIAL) in ILDC, a new extension of the U.S.–based Microsoft Red Team, to address the growing threat of AI-enabled adversaries through deep engineering and applied research. The team will comprise approximately 10 people, split between engineering and research, with an extreme focus on AI Security. This is a manager position focused on building this team that will establish you as a leader in AI Security at Microsoft.
Your team will have two groups: an engineering group and a research group reporting up to the Microsoft Red Team. The engineering group will collaborate with U.S.-based Red Team engineers to enhance and scale an AI-driven adversary emulation platform that we use to protect Microsoft. The research group will analyze Microsoft's AI infrastructure, especially Azure AI services, to identify risks and improve resilience. Both groups will work together under your leadership, building solutions and identifying vulnerabilities for further research.
We are looking for a Software Engineering and Research Manager to lead AIAL under the Microsoft Red team. In this role, you will grow and lead a high-performing team of engineers who are building and evolving the next generation of AI-based red teaming tools. You’ll work closely with Red Team operators, global defenders, and peer teams in the U.S. including MSTIC and GHOST.
