About the role

Junior AI Security Tutor (Penetration Testing Assistant)

MindFort AI is looking for junior security engineers who want to help train and refine our AI security models. Your job is to teach the system how real security analysts think: how they approach problems, document steps, validate assumptions, and reason through vulnerabilities. You’ll work with curated tasks and guided scenarios, providing explanations the AI can learn from.

You’re a good fit if you:

  • Are located in the United States.
  • Have a foundation in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Have 1–3 years of hands-on security, IT, or junior penetration testing experience.
  • Are familiar with common tools and frameworks (Burp Suite, nmap, OWASP Top 10, scripting basics).
  • Understand the fundamentals of web application security, basic exploitation concepts, and secure design principles.
  • Can break down your reasoning clearly so an AI system can learn the logic behind each step.
  • Communicate crisply in writing and stay thorough with documentation.

What you’ll do:

  • Walk the AI through simple and intermediate vulnerability testing steps.
  • Explain the “why” behind reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, and validation.
  • Review outputs from the AI and provide corrections, clarifications, and improved examples.
  • Work with the engineering team as we tune training tasks and improve learning workflows.

Logistics:

  • Applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
  • Up to 40 hours per week available; minimum commitment of 10 hours weekly.
  • Fully remote and asynchronous.
  • Project duration: approximately 1–3 months.

If you want to help shape the next generation of AI-driven security tools while sharpening your own penetration testing skills, we want to hear from you.
