Job description

Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more security-aware AI systems — and we need people who truly understand how software breaks in the real world.

As an Application Security Analyst, you'll work with realistic security scenarios to help AI models learn how to assess vulnerabilities, prioritize risk, and reason about remediation — the way an experienced practitioner actually would.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your hands‑on security knowledge to one of the most impactful problems in tech: making AI systems that reason about software security with accuracy and depth.

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

What You'll Do

• Review and analyze application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and system behavior
• Classify vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic failures
• Evaluate the real‑world exploitability of security findings — not just theoretical risk
• Assess secure coding practices and the quality of proposed remediation strategies
• Help create and validate security-focused datasets that teach AI to reason about application risk accurately and at depth
• Provide clear, structured written analysis that AI systems can learn from

Who You Are

• 2+ years of experience in application security, product security, or software security roles
• Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerabilities found in production environments
• Strong ability to distinguish genuine exploitability from theoretical or low-impact risk
• Clear, structured written communication — you can explain complex security reasoning in plain terms
• Self‑motivated and comfortable working asynchronously on task‑based assignments
• No prior AI experience required — your security expertise is what matters

Nice to Have

• Experience with penetration testing, threat modeling, or secure code review
• Background in bug bounty, red teaming, or vulnerability research
• Familiarity with common application frameworks and their security pitfalls

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Your security expertise shapes how the next generation of AI understands risk
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
