Application Security Analyst

Alignerr Corp.; United States; Remote; MXN 551,000 - 827,000; Full time

Job summary

Alignerr is seeking an Application Security Analyst (AI Training) to help shape how AI systems reason about software risk. You will analyze security scenarios across code, APIs, and system behavior, and classify vulnerabilities such as authentication flaws and injection risks.

You will also assess AI-generated security reasoning and remediation strategies, helping build datasets that teach AI to think like a skilled AppSec professional. This is a remote, hourly contract with flexible hours.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security.
• Solid understanding of the OWASP Top 10 and common production vulnerabilities.
• Ability to reason about real-world exploitability, not just textbook definitions.
• Strong written communication; able to explain security concepts clearly in structured terms.
• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments.

Responsibilities

• Analyze realistic application security scenarios across code, APIs, and system behavior.
• Classify and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, and business logic issues.
• Assess the quality and accuracy of AI-generated security reasoning and remediation strategies.
• Help build and validate security-focused datasets that teach AI how to think like a skilled AppSec professional.
• Provide clear, structured written analysis that distinguishes genuine exploitability from theoretical risk.

Job description

Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

Your instinct for how software breaks in the real world is exactly what the next generation of AI needs. We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build AI systems that can reason about application security — and we need experienced practitioners to make that happen.

This is a unique opportunity to directly influence how frontier AI understands, prioritizes, and remediates software risk. If you've spent time hunting vulnerabilities, reviewing code for security flaws, or advising teams on secure development, your knowledge can help teach AI to do the same.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze realistic application security scenarios across code, APIs, and system behavior
• Classify and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, and business logic issues

• Help build and validate security-focused datasets that teach AI how to think like a skilled AppSec professional
• Provide clear, structured written analysis that distinguishes genuine exploitability from theoretical risk

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
• Solid understanding of the OWASP Top 10 and common production vulnerabilities
• Able to reason clearly about real-world exploitability, not just textbook definitions
• Strong written communication — you can explain complex security concepts in structured, precise terms
• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with secure code review, penetration testing, or bug bounty programs
• Familiarity with threat modeling or security architecture review
• Background in AI, data labeling, or technical content evaluation

Why Join Us

• Work directly on cutting-edge AI systems with top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
• Freelance autonomy with access to meaningful, technically challenging work
• Contribute to AI safety and security at the frontier
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
