I’m looking for an AI Engineer to help build an automated red-teaming product based on open-source models. This is a short-term, hands-on project for around 2 months, with an expected commitment of about 20 hours per week. The goal is to build a specialized red-teaming engine that can generate adversarial prompts across different risk domains, severity levels, and attack strategies — then automatically run those prompts against target AI models to identify bad cases, failure patterns, and safety gaps. 🔍 What you’ll work on Build red-teaming systems on top of open-source LLMs, including fine-tuning, prompt optimization, evaluation pipelines, and model orchestration. Design automated prompt generation workflows across risk domains such as self-harm, hate, violence, sexual safety, misinformation, fraud, cyber, and other high-risk areas. Generate prompts across different harm levels, from benign edge cases to policy-borderline and clearly unsafe scenarios, while maintaining structured taxonomies and evaluation criteria. Run automated tests against target models such as Gemma, Llama, Qwen, or other open-source / closed-source models to surface jailbreak patterns, over-refusal, under-refusal, and policy inconsistencies. Build feedback loops that turn model failures into stronger red-team prompts, improved eval sets, remediation recommendations, and continuous safety testing. 🧠 What I’m looking for Hands-on experience with open-source LLMs, fine-tuning, LoRA / QLoRA, RAG, model evaluation, and LLM inference pipelines. Familiarity with AI safety, red teaming, adversarial prompting, jailbreaks, safety evals, or trust & safety systems. Ability to build end-to-end systems, including data pipelines, model serving, eval harnesses, scoring, dashboards, and automation workflows. Bonus if you’ve worked on model safety, content moderation, policy evaluation, agentic testing, or automated eval infrastructure. ⏳ Project setup Duration: around 2 months Time commitment: about 20 hours per week Format: flexible / remote-friendly Stage: early-stage build, from 0 to 1 🚀 Why this is interesting This is not about manually writing red-team prompts one by one. The goal is to build a scalable system that can continuously generate, test, categorize, and learn from model failures — helping teams understand where AI models break, why they break, and how to improve them. If you enjoy working with open-source models, AI safety, red teaming, and fast 0-to-1 product building, I’d love to chat. Feel free to DM me if this sounds like you, or if you know someone who might be a good fit.

We're building an internal AI system that runs entirely on our own hardware (no cloud inference) against our own company data. We have a working proof-of-concept and want to get the architecture right. We need an experienced consultant to review what we've built, pressure-test our decisions, and tell us where we're wrong. This is an advisory/validation role first — we have someone doing the hands-on work; what we want is a senior second opinion to make sure we're building this the right way. What we're running today: Inference: RTX 5090 (32GB, Blackwell), Ubuntu 24.04, running llama-server (llama.cpp + CUDA) serving Gemma 4 31B-it (Q4_K_M GGUF) at a 262,144 context window. Also hosts our MCP retrieval server, PostgreSQL, and Qdrant. Embeddings: separate machine with an RTX 3060 running vLLM serving Qwen3-Embedding-4B. RAG: hybrid retrieval — Postgres full-text search + Qdrant semantic search with RRF fusion, exposed through a custom MCP server with tool-calling. Data: ingesting our own internal operational data into Postgres + Qdrant. Planned stack: LiteLLM for model routing, n8n for automation, Open WebUI for the interface, Langfuse for observability, Vault or Infisical for secrets, Keycloak/Azure AD for SSO. What we need help with: Validating our two-machine split (inference vs. embeddings) and whether our VRAM/context budget holds up under real load — specifically whether a 256K context window is real and performant on a single 32GB card or just nominal. Model selection and routing strategy: which open-weight models for which tasks, and how to structure LiteLLM routes. RAG quality: chunking, embedding dimensionality, hybrid search tuning, reranking — making retrieval actually accurate on messy real-world data. Sanity-checking our overall architecture and telling us our blind spots. You should have done: Stood up local LLM inference in production — llama.cpp/llama-server and vLLM, not just Ollama on a laptop. You understand GGUF quantization (Q4_K_M, IQ-series), KV cache, KV-cache quantization, and how context length maps to actual VRAM consumption. Real fluency in GPU sizing math — given a model, a quant, and a context window, you can tell us whether it fits on a given card and what throughput to expect. Bonus if you've worked with Blackwell / sm_120a. Built production RAG — vector DBs (Qdrant, pgvector), hybrid search, RRF fusion, embedding model selection, reranking, evaluation. Worked with agentic/tool-calling systems and ideally MCP servers. Know the open-weight model landscape (Gemma, Qwen, Llama, Mistral, Phi, Nemotron, Hermes) and their licenses well enough to advise. Production ops: systemd, Docker, model gateways (LiteLLM or similar), observability (Langfuse), secrets management, SSO.
