Job Summary: 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.

Preferred Qualifications
Proven experience in backend development, with a track record of delivering high-quality and performant projects.
Background in cybersecurity, such as penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, or security code reviews.
Demonstrated success in identifying and resolving software bugs and system bottlenecks.

Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and foundational computer science concepts.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.
