    About the Company

    At Mindrift, innovation meets opportunity. We believe in harnessing collective intelligence to shape the future of artificial intelligence ethically.

    Mindrift's platform enables domain experts to collaborate on Generative AI projects. This fosters a collaborative environment where experts can contribute to various tasks, from creating training prompts for AI models to refining responses for better relevance.

    You will have the unique opportunity to contribute to AI development remotely and at your own pace. Our flexible, community-driven approach makes it accessible without requiring developer skills.

    About the Role

    Generative AI models are advancing rapidly. Our goal is to make them capable of addressing specialized questions and achieving complex reasoning skills.

    In this role, you will leverage your skills to train AI systems to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities in a controlled and ethical manner.

    Your responsibilities will include designing and executing code injection attacks to identify vulnerabilities in AI-powered computer agents. You will receive an onboarding session and sample documentation to guide you through the process.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Leverage Linux administration and automation expertise (Bash, Python, PowerShell) to ensure secure and efficient operations.
    • Utilize penetration testing tools (Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nessus, Nmap) to simulate real-world attacks and strengthen security measures.
    • Stay up-to-date with the latest AI security risks, including prompt injection, adversarial attacks, and AI red teaming.
    • Automate security tasks, integrate security into DevOps workflows, and ensure CI/CD pipeline security.
    • Develop cloud security expertise (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD security) to protect against potential threats.
    • Possess relevant security certifications (OSCP, CEH, CISSP, OSWE, API Security Architect).
    • Demonstrate advanced proficiency in English (C1) or above.
    • Apply excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to drive effective decision-making.
    • Communicate findings and collaborate with teams effectively using strong communication skills.
    • This freelance role is fully remote, requiring only a laptop, internet connection, available time, and enthusiasm for taking on new challenges.

    Desirable Skills

    • Experience in AI red teaming, adversarial ML, LLM security testing.
    • Deep understanding of networking protocols, OS security, and web application security.
    • Knowledge of OWASP Top Ten, MITRE ATT&CK, and other security frameworks.
    • Experience with web security (HTTP, API security, web scraping, DOM manipulation).

    Benefits

    • Participate in a part-time, remote freelance project that adapts to your schedule and commitments.
    • Contribute to an exciting AI project.
    • Enhance your portfolio with new experience.
    • Make a tangible impact on AI quality.
