Authorized Vulnerability Discovery Task Author

IXO is engaging specialists to evaluate security-research tasks built around verified vulnerabilities in authorized repositories. Your contribution is technical work: make the reasoning inspectable, identify substantive errors and provide evidence that supports a reliable assessment.

Work you will do

• Investigate code and use appropriate fuzzing or crash-triage methods to establish a genuine vulnerability.
• Turn the finding into a technically sound evaluation task and probe its difficulty for the intended model assessment.
• Document the repository evidence and task criteria clearly; only work within the explicitly authorized research scope.

Required background and routes

• Practical vulnerability-discovery or security-research experience, including fuzzing, crash investigation and reading substantial Rust, Go, C or C+ repositories.

Deliverables

Submit the completed technical artifact or assessment with its supporting evidence, explicit assumptions, reproducible checks where applicable, and concise reasons for each material judgment. Address review findings within the agreed scope.

Location and schedule

Remote assignments are scheduled by agreement, with no guaranteed weekly volume. IXO confirms the applicable timing before work.

Pay and working terms

Per completed task; fee agreed before work USD. Payment is for a completed task that meets the agreed acceptance criteria. The fee, task specification and revision requirements are agreed before work; an advertised time estimate does not determine payment. Applying does not guarantee an assignment. Use public, licensed or otherwise authorized material only; do not submit confidential employer information, personal data or restricted research. Security and safety testing stays within the expressly authorized evaluation environment.
