- At least 2 years of professional programming, cybersecurity, application security, or systems engineering experience
- Practical experience with C, C++, Java, or comparable programming languages
- Familiarity with vulnerability-classification frameworks and security taxonomies
- Strong understanding of web security, software vulnerabilities, and common attack vectors
- Excellent attention to detail and pattern-recognition ability
- Confidence reviewing unfamiliar technical materials independently
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
- Current location in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand
Nice To Haves
- Experience with secure code review, vulnerability research, or software assurance
- Familiarity with OWASP Top 10, CVEs, CWEs, threat modelling, or security testing methodologies
- Knowledge of memory safety, operating systems, networking, or low-level software behaviour
- Experience with static analysis, dynamic analysis, fuzzing, debugging, or reverse engineering
- Background in web application security, systems security, or exploit analysis
- Previous involvement in technical benchmarking, structured evaluation, or security-focused quality review

Responsibilities
- Review technical content and code for potential security vulnerabilities
- Identify patterns associated with common attack vectors, insecure implementations, and software weaknesses
- Classify findings using recognised frameworks such as OWASP, CVE, CWE, or comparable security standards
- Distinguish between genuine vulnerabilities, implementation defects, and low-risk technical issues
- Analyze code written in C, C++, Java, or other systems-oriented programming languages
- Review memory handling, input validation, access controls, data flow, and error-management practices
- Identify issues such as buffer errors, injection risks, unsafe dependencies, and insecure configurations
- Explain how technical weaknesses could affect system confidentiality, integrity, or availability
- Create, solve, and review challenging cybersecurity problems with practical real-world relevance
- Develop examples involving web security, systems security, vulnerability detection, and attack-pattern recognition
- Produce clear reference solutions and structured explanations
- Assess technical problems for correctness, difficulty, realism, and security relevance
- Evaluate security-related outputs for accuracy, completeness, and appropriate risk classification
- Identify missed threats, unsupported conclusions, and incorrect vulnerability assessments
- Apply consistent review standards across different technical scenarios
- Collaborate asynchronously with other cybersecurity and programming specialists
- Document findings clearly in written English
