Remote | Cybersecurity & Vulnerability Analysis Specialist — $65–$85/hour

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for cybersecurity and systems-programming professionals with experience in vulnerability analysis, security classification, low-level programming, and structured review of technically complex content.

This role supports an AI initiative focused on improving how advanced models identify, classify, and reason about potential security vulnerabilities. Selected professionals will create, solve, and review realistic cybersecurity problems while applying strong pattern-recognition skills across systems programming, web security, common attack vectors, and established vulnerability frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

Security Vulnerability Analysis

• Review technical content for potential security weaknesses and exploitable patterns
• Identify and classify vulnerabilities using recognised security frameworks
• Assess whether proposed findings accurately reflect the relevant threat, attack surface, and potential impact
• Distinguish genuine security concerns from benign or incorrectly classified behaviour

Cybersecurity Task Development

• Create challenging problems grounded in realistic cybersecurity and systems-programming scenarios
• Develop accurate and well-structured reference solutions
• Design tasks involving web security, memory safety, input validation, access control, and common attack vectors
• Ensure problems reflect practical security analysis rather than purely theoretical concepts

Technical Review & Classification

• Review code and technical explanations involving C, C++, Java, or related programming languages
• Evaluate classifications referencing OWASP categories, CVEs, or comparable vulnerability taxonomies
• Identify reasoning gaps, unsupported conclusions, and missed security implications
• Provide clear written explanations supporting each review decision

Quality Calibration & Collaboration

• Work asynchronously with cybersecurity and programming specialists
• Review tasks and solutions developed by other contributors
• Apply consistent standards across vulnerability identification and classification workflows
• Participate in onboarding, calibration, and quality-review activities

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

• At least 2 years of professional programming, cybersecurity, application security, or systems-engineering experience
• Experience with low-level or systems-oriented languages such as C, C++, or Java
• Familiarity with vulnerability classification frameworks such as OWASP, CVEs, or related standards
• Strong understanding of web security and common attack vectors
• Excellent attention to detail and pattern-recognition ability
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
• Ability to work independently within an asynchronous remote environment
• Current residence in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand
• Ability to successfully complete an enhanced background check

Educational Background

• A degree in computer science, cybersecurity, software engineering, information security, or a related technical field is helpful
• Equivalent professional experience in secure software development, vulnerability analysis, or systems programming may also be considered
• Relevant security certifications or specialist technical training may strengthen an application
• Practical experience analysing production systems, applications, or software vulnerabilities is especially valuable

Nice to Have

• Experience in application security, penetration testing, secure code review, or vulnerability research
• Knowledge of memory corruption, injection attacks, authentication weaknesses, and access-control failures
• Familiarity with static analysis, dynamic analysis, fuzzing, or security-testing tools
• Experience interpreting CVE reports, vulnerability disclosures, or security advisories
• Background in threat modelling, incident response, or security engineering
• Previous involvement in AI evaluation, technical annotation, model benchmarking, or structured content review
• Familiarity with software-development lifecycles and secure coding standards

Why This Opportunity

• Apply cybersecurity and programming expertise to advanced AI evaluation work
• Analyse realistic vulnerability scenarios with practical security relevance
• Help improve how AI systems detect and reason about potential threats
• Collaborate asynchronously with experienced specialists across security and systems engineering
• Participate in a flexible remote engagement with competitive hourly compensation

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling
• Available to professionals based in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand
• Competitive rates between $65–$85 per hour depending on expertise and project scope
• The engagement begins with a work trial and may extend into a project lasting approximately two months
• The selection process may include a short interview and technical questionnaire
• Successful candidates may receive compensation for up to one hour of onboarding and screening activities
• An enhanced background check is required
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution
