- Create scenarios involving sensitive information disclosure and excessive agency.
- Develop deterministic tests and security-context manifests to assess application security consistently.
- Create hidden answer keys for evaluating vulnerable and secure code.
- Improve synthetic security tasks so they remain realistic and challenging.
- Document methods, findings, technical insights, and actionable recommendations.
- Review peer contributions and support security architecture and evaluation-pipeline improvements for agent-based applications.

About AI training work
AI training uses human-written examples, reviews, and evaluations to help AI systems produce safer and more useful results. Specialists are paid for this work because their technical judgment helps assess model behavior in areas where general-purpose examples are not enough.
