02 / YOUR PATHWAY

Contribution, practical work, human review

Stages 02, 04 and 05 are planned and unavailable. Stage 03 offers public self-directed practice below.

  1. 01

    Mithril account

    Sign in or create an account with GitHub. Account access, code contribution and legal identity are separate.

  2. 02

    GitHub evidence

    Plan to select 1–3 repositories, PRs or commits and explain your work and tests. Comparable redacted evidence is an alternative to public work.

  3. 03

    Mithril Dojo practical work

    Investigate synthetic data, handle evidence, propose fixes and verify results. Document Mithril use and AI assistance.

  4. 04

    Human skill review

    Evidence handling, investigation, remediation, reproducibility and communication, with explanations and review requests.

  5. 05

    Employer introduction

    Planned after operating and legal approval. Share only your selected packet version with a specific employer you approve. Employment is not guaranteed.

03 / MITHRIL DOJO

Start with a practical exercise

Use Mithril to analyze fictional identity gateway and storage events. Work only with the included synthetic data; no third-party scanning or customer production work.

90 MINSYNTHETIC DATAv1

  1. Record input hashes and the investigation scope.

  2. Build an event-cited timeline; separate facts, hypotheses and unknowns.

  3. Propose remediation, rollback and verification; produce a reproducible script and tests.

  4. Keep evidence, results and selected Mithril usage records.

PRACTICE FILES / 04

Download practice materials

Open Mithril Workspace

About 90 minutes of self-directed practice. Keep your own work; there is no recruitment submission endpoint. Public practice is not a hiring assessment or certification. Check actual Mithril usage charges and storage before use.

04 / HUMAN REVIEW

How we approach skills

GitHub stars, followers and activity frequency are not skill scores. We look at your own contribution, reproducible results and independent explanation.

These are proposed review criteria. Hiring assessments will use separate private variants and human review. Public answers, browser practice ranks and AI outputs cannot independently establish ability.

  • Scope, evidence and privacy20%
  • Investigation and supported findings25%
  • Remediation and verification25%
  • Reproducibility and Mithril use20%
  • Communication and handoff10%

05 / GOOD TO KNOW

Before you take part

Can I apply for USD 80/hour work now?

Applications are not open. A Japan engagement is under discussion and the company is confidential. Payer, contract, hours, eligibility and assessment compensation are unconfirmed. Registration and practice do not create employment, payment or introduction promises.

Does GitHub sign-in read all my repositories?

This page does not request repository permissions or fetch portfolio work. The planned evidence flow accepts explicitly selected materials. Do not submit PATs, secrets or unauthorized employer code.

Will my practice work be shared automatically?

No. This page accepts no submissions or candidate profiles. Future introductions require human approval, a specific recipient and packet version, and both parties’ consent.

Which employers are hiring through Hikari?

The company in the Japan inquiry is confidential. Employers in public job observations are not represented as Hikari partners.
