• Strong written communication skills with a structured, analytical approach.
• Comfortable working independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments.

Responsibilities

• Analyze realistic application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and live system behavior.
• Classify and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, business logic issues, and more.
• Assess secure coding practices and remediation strategies for accuracy and real-world applicability.
• Help build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to think like a seasoned AppSec professional.
• Distinguish genuinely exploitable risks from theoretical noise and explain your reasoning clearly.
