TL;DR · Machine Learning Manager, Red Teaming - Responsible AI and Safety

AIML - Machine Learning Manager, Red Teaming - Responsible AI and Safety joins the Responsible AI and Safety team to lead a dedicated red-teaming program. This role involves building and leading a team of engineers with sustained feature ownership, managing external partnerships, and developing automated red-teaming capabilities. The manager will set an independent agenda focused on active vulnerability discovery in Apple Intelligence features rather than standard evaluation. Key responsibilities include defining success criteria for the program, coordinating escalation paths with security teams, and handling sensitive content. Candidates must possess a master's or doctoral degree in computer science, machine learning, or statistics. Required skills include Python programming, experience with generative models, and foundation model-based AI programming using tools like DSPy. The role addresses critical safety and security risks within generative AI systems to ensure robust product performance.

What you'll do

  • Lead and develop a team of red-teaming engineers with sustained ownership over specific feature clusters.
  • Establish an independent red-teaming agenda focused on active vulnerability discovery rather than standard evaluation.
  • Manage the coverage strategy for pre-ship qualification, post-ship monitoring, and foundation model red-teaming.
  • Define division of responsibility and escalation paths with adjacent security teams regarding cross-cutting risks.
  • Manage external red-teaming partnerships to expand program coverage and integrate them into existing pipelines.
  • Provide technical direction for the development of automated red-teaming capabilities.
  • Define, instrument, and report on red-teaming success metrics to leadership on a recurring basis.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Experience working with generative models for evaluation and product development.
  • Strong engineering skills and experience writing production-quality code in Python.
  • Deep experience in foundation model-based AI programming and prompt optimization.
  • Experience working with noisy, crowd-based data labels and human evaluations.
  • Publication record in relevant conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or EMNLP.
  • Experience working on Responsible AI and AI Safety.
  • Strong organizational and operational skills for managing large, multi-functional teams.
