    • A BS or MS in Computer Science or a closely related field, or
    • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience at a reputable tech company or startup.
  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity concepts and modern software systems.
  • Strong technical reasoning and writing in English.
  • Sound judgment around security and the responsible handling of dual‑use information.

Nice to have

  • Background in offensive security, penetration testing, vulnerability research, or related areas.
  • Experience reviewing, grading, or red‑teaming technical content.

Project Timeline

  • Start date: Immediate
  • Commitment: Part‑time (15–25 hours/week, with flexibility up to 40 hours/week)

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
