What is a Remote Red Team job?

A Remote Red Team job involves simulating cyberattacks to test an organization's security defenses while working remotely. These professionals assess vulnerabilities, exploit weaknesses, and provide recommendations to improve security. They use ethical hacking techniques, penetration testing, and social engineering to mimic real-world threats. The goal is to help organizations strengthen their security posture by identifying and addressing risks before malicious hackers can exploit them.

What does a typical day look like for someone on a remote Red Team?

A typical day in a remote Red Team role involves planning and executing security assessments, crafting realistic attack scenarios, and documenting vulnerabilities discovered during penetration tests or simulated breaches. You’ll often work collaboratively with other Red Team members and interact with Blue Teams or IT staff to coordinate exercises and share findings. The workflow is usually a mix of independent tasks—such as research, reporting, and tool development—and regular virtual meetings to strategize or debrief. Flexibility, clear communication, and critical thinking are crucial as projects and threat simulations can vary frequently. This dynamic environment allows you to continuously develop your technical skills while contributing to the evolving security of diverse organizations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Remote Red Team position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Red Team professional, you need a strong background in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, network security, and a deep understanding of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Familiarity with common cybersecurity tools (e.g., Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Nmap), scripting languages, and certifications like OSCP or CEH are highly valued. Exceptional problem-solving, written communication, and teamwork skills help in delivering comprehensive assessments and collaborating with clients or internal security teams. These competencies are essential for identifying security weaknesses, simulating real-world threats, and effectively improving an organization’s overall security posture.

Job description

About the job:

Contribute to developing cutting-edge AI systems, while enjoying the flexibility of remote work and setting your own schedule.

We are looking for existing cybersecurity professionals to help advance AI development. Cybersecurity platforms are increasingly powered by AI — but these systems still need practitioners with real-world experience to validate whether the outputs actually hold up in practice. That's where you come in.

You'll work closely with state-of-the-art AI models on tasks like evaluating AI-generated security content, solving technical security problems, and providing feedback that directly shapes how these systems reason about real-world threats and defenses.

To get started, once you sign up for an account, you'll take a short assessment (this serves as our version of an interview). If you pass, you'll receive an email confirmation, and paid work will become available to you through our platform.

Advantages of contracting with us:

  • Fully remote: work from anywhere in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
  • Flexible schedule: choose which projects you take on and when you work.
  • You work on your own schedule, on your own computer, from the comfort of your own home
  • Projects are paid hourly starting at $50-100+/hr, with bonus rates available on some projects
  • Impact: help shape the future of AI technologies built for cybersecurity.

Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate AI-generated cybersecurity content — including threat analysis, vulnerability assessments, and offensive security techniques — for real-world accuracy and validity.
  • Design and solve security-focused technical problems used to train AI systems.
  • Write clear technical explanations and security-relevant code.
  • Provide feedback that directly shapes the next generation of AI security models.

Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in a cybersecurity role — such as penetration testing, red teaming, incident response, detection engineering, DFIR, malware analysis, threat intelligence, or adjacent fields, including government or military cyber operations.
  • Some coding experience required; comfort navigating and patching a codebase is key.
  • Fluency in English (native or bilingual level) with strong writing skills.
  • A bachelor's degree is preferred.
  • Cybersecurity certifications are a plus (e.g., OSCP, CRTO, GREM, GCFA, CEH, and similar).

Note: Payment is made via PayPal. We will never ask for any money from you. This job is only available to those in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. This is an independent contractor position.
