Cyber Security Labeling Expert $150/hr [ part time| Remote ]

worksphere global is the referral partner of Mercor

What you'll do

• Analyze flagged AI conversations — ranging from plain text to code-heavy exchanges — and apply your security expertise to assess intent and harm across four domains:
• Scaled data exfiltration
• Ransomware
• Worms / self-replicating code
• Local & remote exploits
• Some conversations may involve POC exploit development; your expertise will determine what crosses the line.

Why it matters The difference between a security researcher and a threat actor often comes down to context, specificity, and intent — exactly what automated systems struggle to detect. Your ground-truth labels directly improve the classifiers that decide what AI will and won't help with.

What we're looking for

• Hands-on offensive security background: red team, malware analysis, pen testing, or exploit research
• Ability to read between the lines — distinguishing legitimate security work from genuine attack intent
• Comfort interpreting code-heavy conversations
• Tier 2–3 experience: Masters / early-career through Senior / Principal
• You're a strong fit if you've done red team consulting, threat intelligence analysis, vulnerability research, or AI safety labeling where nuanced judgment under ambiguity is routine.

  - ~2–3 week engagement, remote- Minimum commitment: at least 20 hours per week — this is a firm floor, not a target. Candidates who cannot commit to 20+ hours per week will not be considered.

• Requires access to a secure review interface and ability to handle PII
• Compensation: $100–$150/hr depending on experience tier
