Overview

Turing seeks a senior security engineer to build realistic challenges for advanced AI coding models. You will dig into CVE records, advisories, bug reports, and open-source code, then turn those findings into tasks that test whether a model can spot and repair software vulnerabilities. The work spans vulnerability research, repeatable testing, and technical review, with Docker environments and verifier logic as core parts of each task. The project runs as a remote contract for three months with 40 hours per week.

What You'll Do5

Trace vulnerabilities through CVE entries, security advisories, bug reports, and open-source repositories.
Rebuild each security issue and write tests that show the flaw, then confirm a patch closes it.
Assemble audit-and-patch tasks with Docker setups that others can rebuild from clear instructions.
Build verifiers that reject hardcoded fixes and attempts to game the test suite.
Inspect AI-produced patches and reasoning, then record technical findings.

Requirements6

5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Expert skill in at least one language from this list: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C/C++, C#, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Kotlin, or Swift.
Strong grasp of CWE, CVE, and the OWASP Top 10, plus hands-on work reproducing vulnerabilities and writing security tests.
Hands-on use of sanitizers, fuzzers, and static analysis tools such as CodeQL or Semgrep.
Working command of Git, Linux, Bash, and Docker.
Clear technical writing and the ability to work with little supervision.

Who Should Apply

A security engineer with 5+ years in software engineering fits this role. You have reproduced vulnerabilities, written security tests, and used sanitizers, fuzzers, and tools like CodeQL or Semgrep, and you know CWE, CVE, and the OWASP Top 10. You work well with Docker, Git, Linux, and Bash, and you write clear technical notes with little supervision.
