[Hiring] Cybersecurity Penetration Testing Expert @G2i Inc.

Role Description

This role is open to contractors in accepted locations only. Please confirm your country is on the list before applying — we're unable to process applications from unlisted locations.

For US applicants: This is a 1099 independent contractor role. It is not compatible with F-1 OPT, STEM OPT, or any visa status that requires W-2 employment, guaranteed hours, or employer sponsorship. We are unable to provide offer letters or employment verification for this role.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Probe and stress-test AI-powered applications, APIs, and supporting infrastructure to surface vulnerabilities before attackers do:
• Run penetration tests against AI apps, APIs, and infrastructure — reconnaissance through exploitation and post-exploitation.
• Hunt AI/ML-specific attack surfaces — prompt injection, jailbreaks, model manipulation, data poisoning, adversarial inputs, and data exfiltration vectors.
• Perform web application, network, and API security assessments using industry-standard methodologies (OWASP, PTES, MITRE ATT&CK).
• Document findings in clear, structured reports with severity ratings, reproductions, and actionable remediation.
• End result: AI systems that hold up against real adversaries, with vulnerabilities surfaced and fixed before they reach production.
• AI red-teaming in one line: Probe → exploit → document with reproductions → feed findings into hardening cycles → models and infrastructure that withstand real-world attacks.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional penetration testing or offensive security experience covering web applications, networks, and APIs (OSCP, OSCE, GPEN, GXPN, or eWPT certification is a bonus, but not required).
• Strong attacker mindset — you can spot logic flaws, auth bypasses, injection vectors, and exploit chaining opportunities quickly.
• Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, Kali Linux, or equivalents.
• Extreme attention to detail and excellent written communication skills. Much of this role involves explaining what you found, how you found it, and how to fix it.
• Comfortable reading documentation, security advisories, and source code, and able to work well in an asynchronous, low-oversight environment.

Requirements

• Applicants will be required to verify their identity and confirm they have valid documentation to work as an independent contractor in their country of residence.

What You Don't Need

• No prior AI/ML security testing experience. If you can pentest a web app, API, or network, the AI-specific attack surfaces — prompt injection, jailbreaks, adversarial inputs — are learnable on the job.

Logistics

• Location: Fully remote — work from anywhere on the accepted locations list.
• Compensation: $60–$120/hr based on location and seniority.
• Hours: Minimum 10 hrs/week, up to 40+ hrs/week available — hours vary by project and are not guaranteed week to week.
• Engagement: 1099 independent contractor.
• Payment: Weekly via PayPal or Stripe.

⚠️ Important: Hours are project-dependent and can vary week to week. We recommend keeping other work options open alongside this engagement rather than relying on it as your sole source of income.
