What this job asks for AI summary
A part-time, remote contract role in which cybersecurity and systems-programming professionals create, solve, and review security-focused tasks to help train AI models. Day-to-day work involves writing realistic vulnerability scenarios, producing reference solutions, and evaluating technical content against frameworks such as OWASP and CVEs across areas like memory safety, web security, and access control. The role suits practitioners with hands-on experience in secure code review, vulnerability analysis, or systems programming.

Why we read it this way (10)
The primary day-to-day work is AI model evaluation and technical annotation of cybersecurity content — not traditional security operations or incident response. 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the closest fit given the vulnerability analysis and classification focus, but 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable runner-up given the AI-evaluation framing.
C, C++, and Java are listed together as interchangeable low-level/systems languages under the 'Ideal Profile' requirements block; C is used as the primary with C++ and Java as alternatives.
OWASP and CVE familiarity appear in the required 'Ideal Profile' section as hard gates on vulnerability classification knowledge.
Penetration testing, static/dynamic analysis, fuzzing, threat modelling, and other security specialisms appear only under 'Nice to Have'.
A degree is described as 'helpful' and equivalent professional experience is explicitly accepted — no hard degree requirement.
The role is open to candidates in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, or New Zealand; the US-based flag of true reflects the US-eligible pool. The caller has confirmed remote=true with no metro.
Engagement is an independent contractor arrangement (~2 months, extendable) paid weekly via Stripe or Wise at $65–$85/hr.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): static analysis.
