Job description

Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

What if your security expertise could help the next generation of AI systems understand how software actually breaks in the real world?

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build training data that teaches AI how to think about application security — from identifying real exploitability to recommending sound remediation strategies. If you've spent time in the trenches of application, product, or software security, your instincts and knowledge are exactly what we need.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze realistic application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and system behavior
• Classify vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic weaknesses
• Evaluate secure coding practices and assess the quality of proposed remediation strategies
• Distinguish genuine, exploitable risk from theoretical or overstated findings
• Create and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that help AI systems accurately assess application risk
• Provide structured, clearly written security analysis that can be used as high-quality training signal

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands‑on experience in application security, product security, or software security roles
• Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerabilities found in production systems
• Strong ability to reason about real-world exploitability — not just textbook definitions
• Clear, structured written communication skills when explaining security concepts and decisions
• Self‑motivated and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task‑based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with security code review, penetration testing, or bug bounty programs
• Familiarity with secure development frameworks or threat modeling
• Background in writing security documentation, reports, or advisories

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems being developed by world‑class research teams
• Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global community of experts
• Contribute to meaningful work that shapes how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
