Red Team Engineer - AI Trainer

About the role

Contribute to developing cutting-edge AI systems while enjoying the flexibility of remote work and setting your own schedule. As a member of DataAnnotation's team, you'll work closely with state-of-the-art AI models on tasks like evaluating AI-generated security content, solving technical security problems, and providing feedback that directly shapes how these systems reason about real-world threats and defenses.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate AI-generated cybersecurity content — including threat analysis, vulnerability assessments, and offensive security techniques — for real-world accuracy and validity.
• Design and solve security-focused technical problems used to train AI systems.
• Write clear technical explanations and security-relevant code.
• Provide feedback that directly shapes the next generation of AI security models.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in a cybersecurity role — such as penetration testing, red teaming, incident response, detection engineering, DFIR, malware analysis, threat intelligence, or adjacent fields, including government or military cyber operations.
• Some coding experience required; comfort navigating and patching a codebase is key.
• Fluency in English (native or bilingual level) with strong writing skills.
• A bachelor's degree is preferred.
• Cybersecurity certifications are a plus (e.g., OSCP, CRTO, GREM, GCFA, CEH, and similar).

Benefits

• Competitive pay: projects are paid hourly starting at $50-$100+/hr, with bonus rates available on some projects.
• Flexibility to choose which projects you want to work on and when.
• Work on your own schedule, on your own computer, from the comfort of your own home.
