WHO WE ARE

Are you passionate about innovating at the intersection of technology and personal security? At Pindrop, we recognize that the human voice is a unique personal identifier, increasingly susceptible to sophisticated fraud, including the threat of deepfakes. We’re leading the way in developing cutting-edge authentication, fraud prevention, and deepfake detection. Our mission is to provide seamless and secure digital experiences, safeguarding the most personal aspect of our identity: our voice. Here, you’ll be part of a team driven by values of Innovation, Customer Advocacy, Excellence, and Impact. We’re not just creating a safer digital landscape by fortifying trust and integrity with those we serve, and we’re also building a dynamic, supportive workplace where your contributions make a real difference.
Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, Pindrop is backed by world-class investors such as Andreessen-Horowitz, IVP, and CapitalG.

YOUR SKILL SET

• Strong understanding of adversarial machine learning techniques, including evasion attacks, poisoning attacks, and model inversion.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think like an adversary.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to a diverse audience.
• Deep understanding of deepfake technologies, synthetic audio, and video generation.
• Experience with real-time audio and video processing and data acquisition, as well as preparation for such tasks.
• Strong programming skills in Python. Experience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch.
• Ability to design, develop, and maintain research packages to assess vulnerabilities of ML models.
• Ability to publish peer-reviewed papers in top computer vision, audio and speech, and conferences.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design and execute adversarial attack campaigns targeting deepfake detection models to assess their resilience.
• Develop novel techniques for evading detection, including adversarial audio and video, voice cloning, synthetic speech generation, and face swapping.
• Conduct red teaming exercises to identify weaknesses, data biases, and model blind spots.
• Collaborate with machine learning engineers and researchers to develop countermeasures and improve detection algorithms.
• Use threat intelligence to anticipate emerging deepfake methods and adjust testing strategies accordingly.
• Document and communicate findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, providing actionable recommendations for risk mitigation.
• Stay current with the latest research in adversarial machine learning, synthetic media, and AI security.
• Participate in cross-functional team meetings and provide insights based on research findings.
