Defense & National Security expert jobs remote contract roles
Eleven listings for people with defense, intelligence or security backgrounds. Most ask you to judge AI-written scenarios and assessments (military operations, geopolitical risk, signals intelligence, intelligence analysis and collection) and to write structured feedback; four are aimed at current or former civilian intelligence staff. One is different: the imagery role corrects machine-drawn labels on drone and maritime images for a U.S. Navy project and requires U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Common Access Card. Rates run from $30 an hour for the imagery role to $120 for the civilian intelligence agency role, and none of the listings states a weekly number of hours.
