Work on the cutting edge of AI security, on your own schedule, and get paid for the cybersecurity and engineering judgment you already have.
The AI systems everyone is talking about are trained and tested by real security engineers. The teams building them need cybersecurity professionals who can create realistic security and coding tasks, judge how well the AI handles them, write the solution a skilled engineer would give, and explain exactly where the AI falls short. Your judgment helps shape the next generation of AI models and the code they produce. This is that work, done remotely around your current job.
What you'll do
Create realistic coding tasks involving security vulnerabilities and backend bugs
Review AI-generated fixes for security and performance
Write reference solutions for new features and code refactors
Document where the AI's work falls short and recommend practical improvements
Why this is worth your time
Build practical AI skills alongside your current job while earning the equivalent of $30–$100 an hour
Work directly with frontier AI tools and see how they are built, tested and improved, experience most security engineers will not have for years
Build a career edge for what comes next: AI is reshaping security engineering, and the people who understand it from the inside will lead that change
Fully remote, fully flexible, no minimum shift, no commute
Who this is for
Strong cybersecurity knowledge in areas such as penetration testing, security audits, vulnerability assessment, secure software development lifecycles, and current threat landscapes
Ability to build and improve complex codebases using Python, Java, Rust, Go, C++ or TypeScript, including debugging, performance work, backend development and codebase refactoring
Fluent in English and clear written and spoken communication of complex technical findings
No AI experience needed. You bring the expertise; we bring the training on the tools.
