About this job

This role involves evaluating AI models' ability to generate secure code by identifying vulnerabilities, testing their security reasoning, and writing corrections when they fail. It suits security engineers and cybersecurity professionals who can spot weaknesses in authentication, cryptography, input handling, and secret management that automated tools miss.

What you'll do

  • Probe AI-generated code for security vulnerabilities across authentication, cryptography, input handling, and secret management.
  • Evaluate how models reason about real-world security threats and identify gaps between their recommendations and actual defensive practices.
  • Write secure solutions and explanations when models produce incorrect or incomplete security guidance.
  • Rate security reasoning quality against professional standards and document threat models and trade-offs.
