About The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Backend Security Engineer to join our dynamic team on a contractual basis. This role offers a flexible schedule of approximately 15 hours per week, with compensation ranging from $30 to $100 per hour based on experience and task complexity. As a key contributor, you will play a vital role in developing and evaluating challenging coding tasks designed to enhance next-generation AI systems.

Your expertise in backend development and cybersecurity will be instrumental in creating realistic scenarios that test and improve AI models' problem-solving capabilities in real-world security and software engineering contexts.

This position is remote, allowing you to collaborate with our global team while maintaining flexibility in your work environment. No prior AI-specific experience is required; instead, your proven skills in backend engineering and cybersecurity are the primary qualifications. Your work will directly impact the development of AI training datasets, ensuring the robustness and security of future AI applications while sharpening your skills in a fast-paced, innovative setting.

Qualifications The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in backend software engineering, with proficiency in languages such as Java, Node.js, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Python, or C++.

Experience in building scalable backend services, APIs, and large-scale applications is essential.



You should demonstrate excellent debugging skills, performance optimization techniques, and familiarity with automated testing and validation processes. A solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, and core computer science principles is required, along with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

Effective communication skills are vital, especially in a remote working environment, to ensure clear collaboration with team members and stakeholders.

Preferred qualifications include experience in delivering high-quality backend solutions, a background in cybersecurity or SecOps, and familiarity with security practices such as penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and secure coding standards. Knowledge of OWASP, CWE, and common software vulnerabilities will be advantageous. Demonstrated success in refactoring legacy codebases, implementing complex features, and documenting technical solutions will set candidates apart.

Responsibilities

- Create realistic, challenging coding tasks that involve backend development, feature implementation, debugging, and security-focused problem solving.
- Design tasks that mirror real-world software engineering and cybersecurity scenarios to effectively evaluate AI model capabilities.
- Implement deterministic verifiers capable of accepting valid solutions and rejecting incorrect or incomplete ones, ensuring reliable task evaluation.
- Develop, maintain, and evaluate backend services, APIs, and software components using languages such as Java, Node.js, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Python, and C++.
- Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve software bugs, performance bottlenecks, and system-level issues to ensure robustness and security.




- Apply secure coding principles and cybersecurity best practices to all engineering tasks, enhancing the security posture of developed solutions.
- Conduct thorough code reviews focusing on correctness, security, maintainability, and performance metrics.
- Refactor existing codebases and develop complex features for large-scale applications to improve efficiency and scalability.
- Develop automated tests and validation mechanisms to ensure the accuracy and reliability of task evaluations.
- Document technical decisions, solution approaches, debugging strategies, and security considerations for transparency and knowledge sharing.
- Collaborate effectively with remote teams, maintaining high standards of quality, accuracy, and professionalism in all deliverables.

Perks This role offers flexible, remote engagement, providing the opportunity to work from anywhere with a focus on impactful projects that enhance AI security and performance.
