Job description

About The Role

What if your security expertise could directly influence how the world's most advanced AI systems defend themselves against misuse, manipulation, and attack? We're looking for AI Security Analysts to probe frontier AI models for vulnerabilities — examining how they behave under adversarial conditions and helping ensure they remain safe, reliable, and aligned with real-world security standards.

About The Role

What if your security expertise could directly influence how the world's most advanced AI systems defend themselves against misuse, manipulation, and attack? We're looking for AI Security Analysts to probe frontier AI models for vulnerabilities — examining how they behave under adversarial conditions and helping ensure they remain safe, reliable, and aligned with real-world security standards.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for security professionals who are curious about AI and want to work on some of the most technically interesting problems in tech today.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Analyze AI and LLM security scenarios to understand how models behave under adversarial, unexpected, or edge-case conditions
• Investigate prompt injection attacks, data leakage risks, model abuse patterns, and system misuse cases
• Classify security vulnerabilities and recommend appropriate mitigations based on real-world impact and likelihood
• Evaluate AI system behavior and contribute structured findings that improve model safety and reliability
• Work with realistic, high-stakes scenarios drawn from the cutting edge of AI deployment
• Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Background in cybersecurity, application security, or a related field — with a genuine interest in how AI systems are built and can be exploited
• Familiar with modern threat modeling concepts applied to software systems, APIs, or emerging technologies
• Analytically sharp — you think like an attacker and document like a defender
• Naturally curious about edge cases, unintended behaviors, and the limits of complex systems
• Detail-oriented and precise when evaluating risk, likelihood, and impact
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with LLMs, generative AI tools, or AI application security
• Familiarity with prompt injection, jailbreaking techniques, or adversarial ML concepts
• Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or vulnerability research
• Experience writing structured security assessments or threat models
• Knowledge of AI safety, alignment, or responsible AI frameworks

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact work
• Be at the forefront of AI security — one of the fastest-growing and most consequential fields in tech
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
