About the Role

Identify, research, and remediate conventional threats and novel risks introduced by AI agents that can affect Apollo and its mission. Redefine and work on a new class of insider risk.

Responsibilities

• Hold responsibility for the security of Apollo’s internal surfaces.
• Red-team internal software, infrastructure, and AI agent access controls/monitoring.
• Build realistic attack trajectories.
• Design solutions for novel or emerging threats in the AI security space.
• Set the standard for our security posture in these areas.
• Track adversary tactics, techniques, and campaigns relevant to Apollo's threat landscape.
• Translate intelligence into tuned, high-signal detections.
• Own each finding through to a deployed fix.
• Build and roll out durable controls: checks, tests, defaults, detections.
• Socialize controls, work with engineers to implement, and hold remediation to a high bar.

Requirements

• 5+ years in security roles in a hands-on technical capacity.
• Ability to think structurally about threat modeling and failure modes.
• Ability to read code, understand infrastructure, and evaluate technical controls.
• Direct experience with offensive security (threat modeling, red teaming).
• Knowledge of application or cloud security.
• Experience owning or significantly contributing to the security posture of an organization or product handling sensitive customer data.
• Engineering mindset, treating security as an engineering problem.
• Ability to translate findings into fixes and controls (paved roads, custom detection rules, adversarial test suites, CI/CD integrations).
• Prioritize automation and systems-level thinking to scale security.
• Comfortable leveraging AI to accelerate development.
• Excited about a fast-moving environment, comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities.
• Willing to grind when it matters.
• Strong written communication skills for producing clear and precise artifacts.

About the Company

• Apollo Research works with frontier AI companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Thinking Machines and others) to test their models before deployment and collaborate on fundamental scheming research.
• Their coding agent security product, Watcher, monitors billions of agent tokens per month.
• Security exists at Apollo to safeguard the trust frontier labs place in them and to enable research.
• The team uses AI agents extensively, making Apollo both a target and a testbed.
• The rapid rise in AI capabilities offers tremendous opportunities but also presents significant risks, particularly from Loss of Control (risks from the model itself).
• Apollo is concerned with deceptive alignment / scheming, where a model appears aligned but is not.
• They work on the science of scheming, detection of scheming, and scheming mitigations.
• They also work on control and monitoring research.
• Apollo aims for a culture that emphasizes truth-seeking, being goal-oriented, giving and receiving constructive feedback, and being friendly and helpful.
• They build a coding agent security product called Watcher to secure agent deployments in companies.
• Their goal is to reduce the probability of catastrophic incidents by securing coding agents, learning about their real-world risks, and publishing research on control systems.

Equal Opportunity

• Apollo Research is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
• We value diversity and are committed to providing equal opportunities to all, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
