About this job

This contract role centers on building small application fixtures that either contain security flaws or demonstrate secure implementations, with hidden answer keys used to test AI systems and scanners. It is aimed at experienced application security specialists who can write deterministic tests and clearly document their methods.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement small application fixtures with embedded vulnerabilities or secure solutions, focusing on OWASP LLM risks.
  • Write deterministic test cases and security-context manifests to assess application security posture.
  • Create detailed hidden answer keys for evaluating AI or scanner detection of vulnerable versus secure code.
  • Refine pipeline methodologies so synthetic fixtures remain challenging yet realistic for AppSec assessment.
