Our mission at Robust Intelligence is to enable every organization on the planet to adopt AI securely. As the world increasingly adopts AI into automated decision processes, we inherit a great deal of risk.
Our flagship product is built to be integrated with existing AI systems to enumerate and eliminate risks caused by both unintentional and intentional (adversarial) failure modes. With Generative AI becoming increasingly popular, new vulnerabilities and attacks present a significant threat to AI companies and their consumers. Our Generative AI Firewall provides a safety net against these failure modes.
At Robust Intelligence we have built a multidisciplinary team of ML Engineers, AI security experts and software engineers to advance the state of AI security. Together, we're building the future of secure, trustworthy AI.

• Develop and maintain security tools and frameworks using Python or Golang.
• Curate and generate robust datasets for training ML models.
• Author blog posts, white papers, or research papers related to emerging threats in AI security.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams of researchers and engineers to translate research ideas into product features. You'll also have the opportunity to contribute to our overall machine learning culture as an early member of the team.
