Required Skills:
* Nation-state threat judgment
* Offensive/defensive line
* Over-refusal detection
* Cyber Thread Intelligence expertise
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:

* Identify and flag instances of over-refusal, ensuring legitimate threat analysis is not unnecessarily declined.
* Document and clarify challenging edge cases involving nation-state operations and other advanced threats.
* Provide concise written and verbal feedback to support the continuous improvement of AI threat assessment capabilities.
Preferred Qualifications:
* Substantial experience in cyber threat intelligence, particularly where nation-state operations intersect with advanced cyber threats.
* Expertise in distinguishing between legitimate defensive/analytic activities and impermissible offensive or surveillance-focused requests.
* Background in threat-actor attribution, APT tracking, or exposure to adversary tactics and techniques.
* Demonstrated proficiency in authoring clear, structured written content in English and communicating complex concepts verbally.
* Experience mentoring, teaching, or leading professionals in threat intelligence disciplines.
* Prior participation in AI system evaluation, red-teaming, or related quality assurance projects is a plus.
