Cybersecurity Engineer - AI Trainer

AfterQuery Experts is hiring a remote, asynchronous Cybersecurity Engineer - AI Trainer to help shape AI security training through rigorous analysis and evaluation. In this role, you will develop realistic security scenarios and review how models reason through them, ensuring training data reflects trustworthy, auditable judgement.

This position is based in Harrisburg, PA (remote) and is designed around independent, asynchronous work. Compensation is USD 65 - 80 per hour, with weekly pay.

What you’ll do

• Design challenging, realistic tasks for security analysis, threat modeling, and incident response, grounded in production practice
• Evaluate AI model responses for correctness, sound reasoning, and subtle failure modes
• Document your reasoning clearly so another engineer can audit the judgement

What you bring

• 2+ years of professional experience in security engineering, red team, or SOC work
• Familiarity with common attack classes, detection tooling, and remediation practice
• Ability to explain an attack path and its mitigation clearly in writing

Compensation and work style
