## Description

Cybersecurity RL Environment Reviewer — Security Engineering (Defensive, Cloud & Infrastructure)**Part-Time, Remote**

### About idlexperts

idleXperts is idler's quality assurance network — the part-time, remote contributors ("experts") who review idler's reinforcement-learning environments before they're delivered to customers. Experts are the last check between what engineering builds and what a customer receives: they confirm a task is solvable as given, confirm the grading actually tests the right thing, and flag anything that would make the task unfair or ambiguous to an AI model attempting it.

### About the Role

We're building a dedicated bench of cybersecurity reviewers to QA our defensive-security and infrastructure-security RL environments: detection-engineering tasks, incident-response and root-cause-analysis tasks, cloud/IAM misconfiguration tasks, and digital-forensics tasks. You'll work through environments we've already built and tell us whether they're fair, correct, and ready to ship.

Part-time, flexible-hours contract work; we'll scope weekly workload directly with you.

### What You'll Do

- Review a described incident, misconfiguration, or detection gap and confirm it's realistic, reproducible from the given logs/environment, and solvable by a skilled practitioner using only the provided context.

- For detection/remediation tasks, confirm the grading actually distinguishes a correct fix from an incorrect or incomplete one (e.g., a rule that only coincidentally matches the sample data).

- For forensics tasks, confirm the planted artifact is genuinely recoverable through sound method, not by guessing.

- Flag inconsistent files, missing context, unclear requirements, or anything that would make the task unsolvable or ambiguous.

- Write a short, clear justification for every decision.

### What We're Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)

- Hands-on experience in at least one of: SOC/detection engineering, incident response, cloud security (AWS/GCP/Azure IAM and misconfiguration), or digital forensics.

- Comfortable working with logs, cloud consoles/CLIs, and a common detection-rule language (e.g., Sigma, KQL, or a SIEM's native query language), or standard forensic tooling.

- Able to clearly explain, in writing, why a finding is or isn't realistic and correctly graded.

- Reliable and self-directed, comfortable working async with limited oversight.

### Nice to Have

- A certification such as GCIH, GCFA, GREM, CISSP, or a cloud-security credential (e.g., AWS Security Specialty).

- Experience building or tuning detection content professionally, not just consuming it.

- CTF experience in forensics/misc categories, or past blue-team competition experience (e.g., CPTC, collegiate cyber defense).

### Compensation

- **$65–$100/hour** — solid, demonstrable experience in one of the above areas, able to independently verify straightforward tasks.

- **$125–$250/hour** — deep specialist experience (5+ years, advanced certifications, or a track record of building production detection/IR capability), able to handle ambiguous or disputed calls.

### How to Apply

Share your resume/LinkedIn plus any relevant certifications, write-ups, or portfolio material. We'll follow up with a short, paid sample review (one task, roughly 30–45 minutes) before starting regular work.
