What is a Remote Open Source Developer?

A Remote Open Source Developer is a software engineer who contributes to open source projects while working from a location outside of a traditional office. These developers collaborate with distributed teams, often using online platforms like GitHub or GitLab to share code and track issues. Their work involves writing, testing, and documenting code, as well as reviewing contributions from others. Remote Open Source Developers may be volunteers or paid contributors, and they typically engage with a global community to improve and maintain open source software.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Open Source Developer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Open Source Developer, you need strong programming skills (often in languages like Python, JavaScript, or C++), familiarity with open source workflows, and a solid understanding of version control systems like Git. Experience with collaborative platforms such as GitHub or GitLab, and familiarity with continuous integration (CI) tools, are typically expected. Excellent written communication, self-motivation, and the ability to work independently and asynchronously help you stand out in distributed teams. These skills and qualities are essential to effectively contribute code, engage with global communities, and maintain productivity in a remote, open-source environment.

How does a remote open source developer typically collaborate with distributed teams and community contributors?

As a remote open source developer, collaboration often takes place through online platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, and community forums. You will regularly participate in code reviews, contribute to discussions on issue trackers, and join virtual meetings or chat channels with both core team members and external contributors. Strong written communication skills are essential, as most interactions are asynchronous and require clear documentation. You'll also need to be proactive in seeking feedback and providing updates, ensuring smooth progress on projects across different time zones.

Job description

Role Title: AI Jailbreak & Prompt-Injection Security Expert


Role Type: Contractor


Location: Remote


micro1 is engaging AI Jailbreak & Prompt-Injection Security Experts to contribute to a cutting-edge customer initiative focused on AI safety and robustness. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.


Scope of Work

  1. Design and implement advanced methodologies for evaluating AI system safety, focusing on ethical jailbreaks, LLM red teaming, prompt injection, and tool-use abuse scenarios.
  2. Create comprehensive cross-domain elicitation strategies to uncover multi-turn and complex adversarial bypass patterns in AI models.
  3. Develop, maintain, and update regression test suites that systematically test for jailbreak susceptibility and prompt-injection vulnerabilities.
  4. Construct robust evaluation frameworks that stress-test AI models against real-world adversarial threats, aiming to enhance overall system robustness.
  5. Collaborate with technical stakeholders to translate security findings into actionable improvements for model safety and risk mitigation.
  6. Document methodologies, findings, and best practices in clear, well-structured written reports and presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences.


Preferred Qualifications

  1. 2+ years of expertise in adversarial machine learning, LLM red teaming, AI safety evaluation, or a closely related security domain
  2. Proven experience researching, testing, or uncovering vulnerabilities related to ethical jailbreaks, prompt injection, tool-use abuse, or adversarial AI attacks.
  3. Advanced degree (PhD, MS) in computer science, cybersecurity, machine learning, or a relevant discipline, or equivalent operational/professional background.
  4. High credibility and recognition within the AI security or adversarial ML community—such as published research, open-source tools, or conference presentations.
  5. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a strong focus on clear documentation and collaborative problem-solving.
  6. Prior participation in multi-disciplinary projects or cross-functional AI safety initiatives is a plus.
  7. Familiarity with current LLM architectures, prompt engineering techniques, and security assessment tools is highly desirable.
