• Ability to explain complex security issues clearly — both technically and in terms of business impact
• Detail‑oriented, analytical, and comfortable working through ambiguous scenarios

Nice to Have

• Experience with threat hunting, incident response, or red/blue team operations
• Familiarity with common attack frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
• Background in cloud infrastructure security (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Prior experience with AI, data labeling, or security research

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI projects with top security research teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
