Description

  • Design benchmark tasks by identifying vulnerability classes (type/subtype and difficulty level) and validating intended exploit behavior.
  • Create or validate small, runnable codebases (environment repositories) that include data ingestion and prompt/tool usage where trust boundaries may be violated.
  • Write and validate exploit scripts to confirm and document resulting unsafe behavior.
  • Implement or verify patches that prevent exploits and ensure fixes effectively mitigate the vulnerability.
  • Reconstruct and annotate reasoning steps in model-generated trajectories, inferring and documenting likely decision-making processes behind each step.
  • Produce detailed task metadata, including severity mapping, file and line references, impact analysis, remediation summaries, and relevant documentation.
  • Conduct review and quality checks to ensure file paths resolve correctly, line ranges are accurate, sensitive labels are not leaked, and patches successfully block exploits.
  • Collaborate with the project team to ensure tasks and metadata meet dataset quality standards and research requirements.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of software engineering experience, particularly in application security, vulnerability research, or secure software development.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field required (advanced degree preferred).
  • Strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or other common languages used in open-source projects.
  • Experience writing exploit scripts, validating attacks, and implementing/verifying patches to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  • Familiarity with Git workflows, including pull requests, issue tracking, and repository collaboration.
  • Ability to articulate technical reasoning clearly through structured written documentation.
  • Availability for a part-time contract (15–25 hours per week, flexible up to 40 hours/week) with immediate start and a 1–2 month duration.
  • Must be able to engage as an independent contractor; candidates requiring H1-B or STEM OPT sponsorship cannot be supported.

Benefits

  • Competitive hourly rate ($60–$70 per hour).
  • Fully remote role with flexible scheduling and part-time commitment (option to increase hours).
  • Weekly payments issued via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
  • Contract engagement with potential for projects to be extended, shortened, or concluded based on needs and performance.
  • Work does not require access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
