AI Agent Researcher (Security), Singapore

Overview
We are partnering with a leading global technology company to hire an AI Agent Security Researcher as part of their expanding security R&D team. This role focuses on building system-level security mechanisms to safeguard AI-driven functionalities and ensure secure deployment across mobile, PC, and IoT environments. Responsibilities
Design and implement security frameworks for AI agents within an OS environment Develop advanced access control models (e.g., Dynamic Least Privilege, intent-based sandboxing) Build and enhance security mechanisms such as AI Fence, MCP, and skill-level protection systems Identify and mitigate AI/LLM-related risks (e.g., prompt injection, adversarial attacks, over-privileged behaviors) Strengthen secure API interactions between AI agents and system services Collaborate on system-level security across mobile, PC, and IoT platforms Requirements
Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, AI, or a related field Proficiency in
C/C++
for system-level programming (e.g., kernel modules) Strong understanding of
OS security mechanisms , including: Mandatory Access Control (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor) Kernel hardening (memory protection, syscall filtering) Secure API gateway design Knowledge of
AI/LLM security risks , such as prompt injection, adversarial ML, and privilege misuse Familiarity with
mobile/PC security frameworks
(e.g., Android SE, iOS sandbox, Linux security modules) Experience in OS security (Android/iOS/Linux) is preferred Exposure to AI agents or contributions to system security projects (e.g., Linux kernel, Android AOSP) is a plus
