  • Demonstrated expertise in HUMINT, SIGINT, OSINT, or other intelligence collection disciplines.
  • Understanding of civilian intelligence agency procedures, operational frameworks, legal authorities, and interagency coordination.

What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $500–$1,000 and 20 hours about $1,000–$2,000 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
20 openings means this is a high-volume project. You are not competing for one seat: if you pass the test, there is room for you.
Location
Open worldwide in the countries the employer accepts. Payments usually go out through services like PayPal or Wise, so check one of them works in your country.
Credentials
The listing asks for a CIA (or similar). Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.
Timing
This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for security teams
  • Judge AI security advice against real attack paths, not checklists.
  • Flag unsafe commands and missing input validation first.
  • Reference CVEs, CWE or OWASP categories when you correct.
