Robust Intelligence's mission is to eliminate AI Risk. As the world increasingly adopts AI into automated decision processes, we inherit great risk.

Our flagship product is built to be integrated with existing AI systems to enumerate and eliminate risks caused by 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.

About The Role

Robust Intelligence builds products to ensure the safe deployment of AI systems. Our software is deployed as a service across all major cloud providers as well as to on-prem servers. Our clients' Data scientists and ML Ops engineers are the first users of our product, and we strive to make their experience deploying our product as smooth as possible. At Robust Intelligence, you'll have the power to influence our engineering culture and learn a lot about other parts of the company beyond your role, including robust machine learning and ML Ops.

  • Provide strong leadership to the engineering team, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.
  • Work with customers to understand their deployment needs and evolve our offering to better accommodate the needs.
  • Attract, recruit, hire, and develop a high-performing backend team. Help grow the team and help the career growth of the team members.

What we look for:

  • 4+ years people management experience

  • Experience managing infrastructure deployed to at least one of the major public cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Proficiency in programming languages, scripting languages, version control systems, and continuous integration systems
  • Individuals who are eager to learn and take on new challenges.
