Job details

Application Security Analyst (AI Training) About The Role We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more security-aware AI systems — and we need experienced application security professionals to make it happen. If you know how software actually breaks in production, how vulnerabilities emerge in real systems, and how to separate genuine exploitability from theoretical noise, this role was built for you. Your expertise will directly shape how frontier AI reasons about application security risk. Organization: Alignerr Type: Hourly Contract Location: Remote Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Review and analyze real-world application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and system behavior Classify vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic failures Evaluate secure coding practices and the quality of remediation strategies Build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to accurately assess and prioritize application risk Provide structured, well-reasoned written analysis that bridges security expertise and AI training needs 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 distinguish real-world exploitability from theoretical risk with confidence Strong written communication skills and the ability to articulate structured security reasoning clearly Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments Nice to Have Experience in penetration testing, bug bounty, or secure code review Familiarity with threat modeling frameworks or security assessment methodologies Background working across web, mobile, or API security contexts Why Join Us Work directly on cutting-edge AI systems with top-tier research labs Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration Apply deep security knowledge to an emerging and high-impact field Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
