Summary

👤
Senior
🎓
Top School
Robert Wallach is an AI red team researcher and evaluation specialist with eight years of experience probing frontier LLMs for prompt injection, jailbreaks, bias, and novel failure modes. He blends editorial rigor from an MA in Writing with operational experience scaling an API startup from 4 to 60 employees, giving him a rare ability to translate qualitative textual analysis into systematic adversarial methodologies. Robert discovered "Ecosystem Complement Blindness" in a major production classifier and is building a Python multi-agent research pipeline that applies Hegelian dialectics to evaluation—evidence of an unconventional, theory-driven approach to practical safety testing. Comfortable running local LLM stacks and mapping work to frameworks like MITRE ATLAS and NIST AI RMF, he focuses on conversational inauthenticity detection and reproducible red-teaming playbooks. Now based in the DC–Baltimore area, he’s seeking full-time roles in AI safety, red-teaming, evaluation, or policy research.
