Cybersecurity Software Engineer

Description:

Software Engineer - Cybersecurity

Role Responsibilities
 

• Design benchmark tasks by ideating a vulnerability class and validating the intended exploit behavior.
• Create or validate small runnable codebases that include ingestion and prompt/tool usage where the trust boundary is violated.
• Validate the attack via an exploit script and document the unsafe behavior clearly.
• Validate implementation of a patch that prevents the exploit and verify the fix is effective.
• Produce task metadata such as severity mapping, exact file/line locations, impact analysis, remediation summary, and references.
• Conduct review and quality control to ensure paths resolve, line ranges are correct, labels aren’t leaked, and the fix blocks the exploit.
