Research Intern - AI Security

Build security environments, adversarial agents, and evaluations for frontier AI systems.

Location: Tübingen / Hybrid

Employment: Internship

The role

You will work across AI security, machine learning, and research engineering alongside the core team. You will take ownership of a technically ambitious project in agent security, from designing and implementing the approach to running experiments and communicating the results.

What you’ll work on

• Develop and evaluate security environments, agent training methods, attacks, or defenses
• Run controlled experiments with clear baselines and verifiable outcomes
• Analyze model behavior and communicate the results to the team
• Contribute code, evaluations, and research findings that remain useful after the internship

What we’re looking for

• Current study or recent work in machine learning, computer science, security, or a related field
• Strong programming skills and experience building or evaluating machine-learning systems
• Curiosity about AI agents and the discipline to investigate failures carefully
• Ability to work independently and ask for feedback early

Useful experience

• LLMs, reinforcement learning, or agentic systems
• Adversarial machine learning, red teaming, or AI safety evaluations
• Research codebases, reproducible experiments, or open-source contributions
• A previous research project, thesis, or technical publication

What we offer

• Competitive compensation
• Flexible hours and a remote-friendly setup
• Vacation, learning, and conference budget
• Research freedom in a high-trust environment
