Job description

We’re hiring: 300 Remote Application Security Engineers (AppSec) — Secure Code Benchmarking ($30 – $100/hr) šŸ›”ļøšŸ’»

In this role, you will design production-grade coding tasks involving bug fixes, feature additions, and codebase hardening—implementing deterministic verifiers that pass valid, secure implementations and reject vulnerable or broken code.

If you have a strong backend engineering foundation in Python, Java, Rust, TypeScript, Go, or C++, combined with hands-on experience in AppSec, OWASP/CWE standards, vulnerability triage, or code auditing, this flexible contract is open for immediate placement.

The Breakdown

  • Role: Application Security Engineer (AppSec) – AI Code Security & Verification

  • Openings: 300 seats available immediately

  • Rate: $30 – $100 / hour (Output-based per verified task)

  • Commitment: ~15 hours/week (Completely flexible schedule, weekends allowed)

  • Location: 100% Remote (Global)

  • Core Tech: Python 3, Java, Rust, TypeScript, C++, Go, Node.js, OWASP/CWE, Secure Coding, Deterministic Verifiers

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement complex, real-world backend coding tasks involving feature builds, logic bugs, and security flaws.

  • Construct automated, deterministic verification suites that programmatically test whether an AI's solution is functional, optimized, and secure.

  • Refactor legacy codebases and eliminate vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, broken auth, memory unsafety, and logic regressions.

  • Audit and review model-generated code against production security baselines and secure software development lifecycles.

  • Formulate test cases that expose common LLM coding vulnerabilities, syntax hallucinations, and insecure configurations.

What You Need

  • Proven background in backend software engineering with Python, Java, Rust, TypeScript, Go, Node.js, or C++.

  • Working experience in application security (AppSec), secure code review, pentesting, or vulnerability assessment (OWASP Top 10, CWE).

  • Solid grasp of algorithms, data structures, and automated test harness design.

  • Strong debugging instincts and ability to navigate and refactor complex, unfamiliar codebases.

  • Clear written English communication to document security trade-offs and verification criteria.

Roles typically fill within 48 hours, and selected engineers are expected to start within 24–48 hours of completing onboarding.
