Job description

About The Role

If you love finding cracks in systems before the bad guys do, this role was built for you. We're looking for security-minded professionals to help stress-test and harden some of the most advanced AI models in the world. You'll probe for vulnerabilities, craft adversarial prompts, and deliver expert feedback that directly shapes the safety and reliability of AI systems used by millions.

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

What You'll Do

• Conduct red-teaming exercises to identify security weaknesses and exploitable behaviors in AI systems
• Design and execute adversarial prompts and edge-case scenarios to stress-test model guardrails
• Evaluate AI outputs for safety failures, bias, and policy violations
• Document vulnerabilities, exploits, and unexpected behaviors in clear, structured reports
• Collaborate with engineering teams to recommend practical mitigations and improvements
• Stay current on emerging AI security threats, jailbreak techniques, and evolving best practices
• Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols

Who You Are

• You have a solid grasp of cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or ethical hacking
• You've worked with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering in some capacity
• You're a creative, analytical thinker who enjoys breaking things to make them better
• You communicate clearly in writing and can document complex findings for technical audiences
• You're self-directed and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments
• Familiarity with open-source AI platforms is a plus
• A background in infosec, ethical hacking, or AI safety research is a plus — but not required

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work at the frontier — contribute to AI safety research alongside leading labs and engineering teams
• Real impact — your findings directly influence how AI systems are built and deployed at scale
• Full autonomy — set your own hours, work from anywhere, and own your schedule
• Grow fast — build deep expertise in one of the hottest and most consequential domains in tech
• Stay engaged — high-quality contributors are considered for ongoing work and expanded scope
• No gatekeeping — security professionals from any background are encouraged to apply
