About this role
Evaluate the quality, fidelity, and completeness of vulnerability-reproduction and remediation tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab's models. You'll assess whether CVE reproductions are faithful, fixes are sound, verification logic is rigorous, and Docker-based lab environments accurately recreate exploitable conditions — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback.
Basic Qualifications
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in application security, penetration testing, or vulnerability research
- Strong understanding of CVE vulnerability taxonomy and severity frameworks (CVSS, CWE, CAPEC)
- Demonstrated expertise in secure coding and remediation across common vulnerability classes (SQL injection, command injection, buffer overflow, deserialization, SSRF, misconfigurations, privilege escalation)
- Experience designing or evaluating two-part verification logic (functionality tests + vulnerability tests)
- Proficiency with Docker and Docker Compose for multi-container vulnerability reproduction environments
Preferred Qualifications
- OSCP, GPEN, GWAPT, or equivalent offensive-security certification
- Experience with CVE disclosure, responsible vulnerability reporting, or maintaining exploit proof-of-concept code
- Background in DevSecOps, CI/CD security gating, or SAST/DAST tooling
- Prior technical content review, assessment design, or QA for security-focused engineering tasks
