Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

What if your security knowledge could train the next generation of AI systems to reason about risk the way a seasoned expert does?

Alignerr partners with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. We're looking for application security professionals who understand how software truly breaks in production — and can translate that expertise into structured reasoning that teaches AI to assess, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities accurately.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You set your own hours and work at your own pace.

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

What You'll Do

  • Evaluate the quality of secure coding practices and proposed remediation strategies
  • Build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to think like an expert analyst
  • Distinguish real-world exploitability from theoretical risk with clear, structured written reasoning

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
  • Solid working knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and how vulnerabilities manifest in production systems
  • Able to think critically about risk — separating genuine threats from noise
  • Strong written communication skills with the ability to explain security reasoning clearly and systematically
  • Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with penetration testing, secure code review, or bug bounty programs
  • Familiarity with API security, cloud-native architectures, or DevSecOps practices
  • Background in writing security documentation, threat models, or vulnerability reports

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where you want
  • Freelance autonomy with the backing of a leading AI training organization
  • Meaningful, intellectually engaging work that puts your security expertise to use in a new way
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
