Job description
Role Overview Help train next-generation AI systems using practical application-security expertise. You will create realistic security evaluation materials that improve how AI models reason about vulnerable and secure application code. Prior AI experience is not required.
Key Responsibilities Design and implement small, purpose-built application fixtures containing security vulnerabilities or secure solutions, including OWASP LLM risks such as sensitive-information disclosure and excessive agency.
Develop deterministic test cases and security-context manifests to assess application security posture.
Create detailed hidden answer keys for evaluating vulnerable and secure code with AI systems or security scanners.
Evaluate and refine pipeline methods so synthetic tasks and fixtures remain realistic and appropriately challenging for application-security assessment.
Document technical findings and methodologies clearly, and provide precise written feedback.
Collaborate through thorough written and verbal communication, sharing findings and reviewing peer contributions.
Contribute to agent-based security architecture and ongoing improvements to the evaluation pipeline.
Qualifications Ideally 5+ years of experience in application security, secure software development, or CyberSWE roles.
Strong knowledge of OSWE, LLM security, AI-powered static analysis, application-security evaluation, and AppSec best practices.
Experience designing or assessing security architecture for traditional and agent-based applications.
Expertise building, securing, and testing application codebases, including identifying and remediating advanced vulnerabilities.
Excellent technical documentation, written communication, verbal communication, and collaborative feedback skills.
Experience with synthetic security fixtures and deterministic testing is highly desirable.
Ability to provide actionable security recommendations while contributing remotely.
Work Terms Remote contract engagement.
Compensation $40 to $80 per hour.
