Job description

Cybersecurity Specialist - Freelance AI Trainer Project

United States of America

Are you a cybersecurity expert eager to shape the future of AI? Large‑scale language models are evolving from clever chatbots into powerful engines of digital defense. With high‑quality training data, tomorrow’s AI can democratize world‑class education, keep pace with cyber threats, and streamline security operations for professionals everywhere. That training data begins with you—we need your expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for cybersecurity specialists who live and breathe network security, ethical hacking, digital forensics, threat intelligence, cryptography, malware analysis, vulnerability assessment, and incident response. You’ll challenge advanced language models on topics like penetration testing, intrusion detection systems, security architecture, zero trust frameworks, ransomware mitigation, secure coding practices, and risk management—documenting every failure mode so we can harden model reasoning.

On a typical day, you will converse with the model on cyber incident scenarios and theoretical cybersecurity questions, verify factual accuracy and logical soundness, capture reproducible error traces, and suggest improvements to our prompt engineering and evaluation metrics.

A bachelor’s or master’s in cybersecurity, computer science, information assurance, or a closely related field is ideal; industry certifications such as CISSP, CEH, OSCP, or hands‑on experience in SOC environments, red team/blue team operations, or cyber policy development signal fit. Clear, metacognitive communication—“showing your work”—is essential.

Ready to turn your cybersecurity expertise into the knowledge base for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and start teaching the model that will teach the world.

We offer a pay range of $6-to-$65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high‑speed internet; company‑sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.

Employment type: Contract. Workplace type: Remote. Seniority level: Mid‑Senior Level.
