We are looking for Source Security Specialist candidates for a project delivered through Mercor.
What you'll do
- Write challenging single-turn prompts in your domain, labelled across three levels: benign, dual-use, and adversarial.
- Evaluate the responses that come back against a defined policy standard, and judge whether each was handled correctly.
- Write the reference answer — what a correct response looks like, and the technical reasoning for why.
What you need
- assessed how Category 1 and 2 sources actually get stolen, shielded or moved — the security and vulnerability side of a licensed programme, not just its paperwork.
- able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same shielding calculation protects a worker and conceals a source.
- writing-intensive work. Every judgment you make needs a written rationale that a non-specialist can follow.
Nice to have
- red-teaming experience
- Security or vulnerability assessment of licensed facilities holding Category 1 and 2 sources
- Physical protection design and review — detect, delay, assess and respond; insider threat considerations
- Source recovery, consolidation or security-upgrade programmes for disused and orphan sources
- Regulatory security inspection and compliance — 10 CFR 37 or national equivalents
- Transport security for radioactive material — routing, escort, tracking and chain of custody
- Prior technical writing, published research, or expert witness experience
