AI Security Testing Analyst

Alignerr Corp.; United States; Remote; USD 55,000 - 152,000; Part time

Job summary

Alignerr is seeking security-minded professionals to stress-test AI systems by breaking them in controlled ways. This hourly contract role is remote and flexible, with 10–40 hours per week, focused on identifying vulnerabilities before bad actors do.

You will conduct red-team exercises, craft adversarial prompts, evaluate outputs for safety and bias, and document findings in clear reports. Independent, asynchronous work and strong cybersecurity skills are essential.

Qualifications

• Strong grasp of cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or vulnerability assessment.
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering.
• Creative and analytical mindset — you enjoy finding edge cases others miss.
• Excellent written communication and documentation skills.
• Self-directed and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments.
• Familiarity with open-source AI platforms is a plus.
• Background in infosec, ethical hacking, or AI safety research is a bonus — not a requirement.

Responsibilities

• Conduct red-teaming exercises to uncover security weaknesses in live AI systems
• Craft adversarial prompts and edge-case scenarios designed to test — and break — model guardrails
• Evaluate AI outputs for safety issues, bias, and policy compliance
• Document vulnerabilities, exploits, and unexpected behaviors in clear, structured reports
• Collaborate asynchronously with engineering teams to recommend mitigations and improvements
• Stay sharp on emerging AI security threats, jailbreak techniques, and evolving best practices
• Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols

Job description

About The Role

What if your job was to break things on purpose? We're looking for security-minded professionals to stress-test, probe, and challenge AI systems — finding the cracks before bad actors do. Your work will directly shape the safety and reliability of AI products used by millions of people worldwide.

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

What You'll Do

• Conduct red-teaming exercises to uncover security weaknesses in live AI systems
• Craft adversarial prompts and edge-case scenarios designed to test — and break — model guardrails
• Evaluate AI outputs for safety issues, bias, and policy compliance
• Document vulnerabilities, exploits, and unexpected behaviors in clear, structured reports
• Collaborate asynchronously with engineering teams to recommend mitigations and improvements
• Stay sharp on emerging AI security threats, jailbreak techniques, and evolving best practices
• Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols

Who You Are

• Strong grasp of cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or vulnerability assessment
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, large language models (LLMs), or prompt engineering
• Creative and analytical mindset — you enjoy finding the edge cases others miss
• Excellent written communication and documentation skills
• Self-directed and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments
• Familiarity with open-source AI platforms is a plus
• Background in infosec, ethical hacking, or AI safety research is a bonus — not a requirement

Why This Role Stands Out

• Real impact: Your findings directly improve AI safety for products used at scale
• Cutting-edge work: Operate at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI — one of the most in-demand skill sets in tech
• Full flexibility: Remote-first, async-friendly, and built around your schedule
• Build your expertise: Deepen your knowledge in AI red-teaming, a rapidly growing and highly valued field
• Grow with us: Strong performers have opportunities for expanded scope and ongoing contract work
