Cybersecurity jobs training AI models

Cybersecurity roles advertise a median top rate of $90/hr, with the middle half of rates at $60–$120/hr, measured from 27 distinct advertised rates across 58 live roles, as of 2026-10-12.

AI labs pay people who have actually run a SOC, worked an incident or triaged a CVE, because a model that reasons badly about security is dangerous in a way a model that reasons badly about poetry is not. This is your own security career sold by the hour, remote and project-based. It is not the same as red-teaming below, which is attacking the model itself rather than bringing security expertise to it.
