[Hiring] Application Security Expert @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised remote consulting opportunity for experienced Application Security Professionals with strong expertise in secure software development, vulnerability assessment, LLM security, AI-powered static application security testing, and agent-based security architecture to contribute their technical knowledge to advanced AI training and evaluation initiatives.

Selected professionals will:

• Design realistic application security evaluation scenarios.
• Develop controlled testing fixtures.
• Assess secure and vulnerable code implementations.
• Create structured evaluation materials for advanced AI systems.

The work combines practical application security engineering with deterministic testing, synthetic vulnerability assessment, technical documentation, and security-focused AI benchmarking. Prior experience with AI training projects is not required.

Qualifications

• Extensive professional experience in application security, secure software development, cybersecurity engineering, or CyberSWE-related roles.
• Approximately 5+ years of relevant professional experience is preferred.
• Strong understanding of application security principles, secure coding practices, vulnerability assessment, and remediation methodologies.
• Familiarity with OSWE-level application security concepts, advanced web application testing, and practical vulnerability analysis.
• Strong knowledge of LLM security risks and emerging security considerations involving AI-powered applications.
• Experience with AI-assisted static application security testing (AI-SAST) or related security evaluation methodologies.
• Demonstrated understanding of OWASP application security guidance and relevant OWASP LLM security categories.
• Experience designing, reviewing, or evaluating security architecture for traditional software applications or AI agent-based systems.
• Practical expertise in developing, securing, testing, and reviewing application codebases.
• Ability to identify complex application vulnerabilities and evaluate technically appropriate remediation approaches.
• Familiarity with security considerations involving agent permissions, tool integration, data exposure, and application trust boundaries.
• Experience creating controlled security testing scenarios, synthetic vulnerability fixtures, or reproducible evaluation environments is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of deterministic testing, structured assessment criteria, and technical validation methodologies.
• Ability to distinguish secure implementations from vulnerable code using clear, technically justified evaluation criteria.
• Strong analytical reasoning, technical problem-solving, and security assessment capabilities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain sophisticated security concepts clearly.
• Experience producing detailed technical documentation, security reports, or structured engineering feedback.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary technical teams in a remote environment.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate, reproducible, and actionable security assessments.
• Prior experience contributing to AI training or model evaluation projects is not required.

Requirements

• Freelance / contract engagement.
• Fully remote.
• Compensation: $40–$80/hour.
• 10 available openings.
• Specialised consulting role spanning application security, LLM security, AI-SAST evaluation, secure software development, and agent-based security architecture.
• Work will involve synthetic security fixture development, controlled vulnerability assessment, deterministic testing, and structured AI evaluation.
• Assignments will require clear technical documentation, reproducible testing methodologies, and accurate security evaluation criteria.
• Professionals will contribute to the assessment and improvement of security-focused AI evaluation workflows.
• Collaboration may involve application security engineers, software developers, AI specialists, and multidisciplinary technical contributors.
• Previous experience with AI training projects is not required.
• Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party.
