Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
Your instinct for spotting a real exploit versus a theoretical risk is exactly what's missing from most AI systems — and that's where you come in.
At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. We're looking for experienced application security professionals to help AI systems learn how to think like a security engineer: assessing vulnerabilities, prioritizing real risk, and recommending practical remediations.
This is a remote, flexible, contract role. You set your schedule and work on your own terms.
What You'll Do
- Analyze realistic application security scenarios across code, APIs, and system behavior
- Identify and classify vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic bugs
- Evaluate secure coding practices and assess the quality of remediation strategies
- Build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI to accurately assess application risk
- Apply your real-world instincts to distinguish genuinely exploitable issues from noise
Who You Are
- 2+ years of experience in application security, product security, or software security roles
- Solid working knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and common production vulnerabilities
- Strong ability to assess real-world exploitability — not just theoretical risk
- Clear, structured written communication when explaining security findings and reasoning
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with penetration testing, secure code review, or threat modeling
- Familiarity with bug bounty programs or vulnerability disclosure processes
- Background in API security, cloud-native applications, or DevSecOps
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, 10–40 hours/week
- Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
- Your security expertise shapes how the next generation of AI reasons about risk
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
