About this role
Shape next-generation AI systems with practical offensive-security expertise. As a Red Team Lead, you will turn real-world cybersecurity knowledge into high-quality task frameworks, evaluations, and feedback that improve how AI systems reason about security scenarios. Prior AI experience is not required.
Key Responsibilities- Develop comprehensive taxonomies for cyber-capability tasks and attack stages relevant to current threat landscapes.
- Design and validate offensive-security evaluation frameworks using realistic scenarios involving exploit chains, malware, cloud and application security, and social engineering.
- Create safe proxy tasks that model advanced attack vectors while maintaining strict ethical and security boundaries.
- Develop scoring rubrics that evaluate attack sophistication, coverage, and impact across domains.
- Review and improve red-team benchmarks to reflect evolving security risks and leading practices.
- Produce clear methodologies and technical documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.
- Collaborate asynchronously with project stakeholders, incorporating feedback into deliverables.
- At least 5 years of hands-on experience in offensive cybersecurity, red teaming, exploit development, or vulnerability research. Senior contributors with 8 to 20 years of experience are preferred.
- Experience as a principal security engineer, exploit developer, cloud red-team lead, malware reverse engineer, or security researcher focused on attack chains or social engineering.
- Deep knowledge of cyberattack methodologies, exploit chains, and cloud or application-security assessments.
- Strong background in malware analysis, reverse engineering, social-engineering tactics, or related defenses.
- Ability to communicate actionable technical concepts clearly in writing and verbally for varied audiences.
- An advanced degree, relevant security certifications, or equivalent operational experience is highly valued.
- Experience building cybersecurity benchmarking or evaluation frameworks is a plus.
- Remote contract engagement.
- Work focuses on a critical cybersecurity project and training AI systems through domain-expert input.
- $50 to $90 per hour.
