About the Role

What if your security expertise could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems defend themselves against attack? We're looking for AI / Emerging Tech Security Analysts to probe, evaluate, and stress-test cutting-edge AI models — identifying the vulnerabilities, misuse vectors, and adversarial scenarios that could compromise real-world AI deployments.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for security professionals who are curious about how modern AI systems fail — and how to make them stronger.

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

What You'll Do

  • Analyze AI and LLM security scenarios to understand how models behave under adversarial, edge-case, or unexpected conditions
  • Review and evaluate cases involving prompt injection, data leakage, model abuse, jailbreaking, and system misuse
  • Classify security issues by real-world impact and likelihood, and recommend appropriate mitigations
  • Apply threat modeling frameworks to emerging AI technologies and novel attack surfaces
  • Help evaluate and improve AI system behavior so it remains safe, reliable, and aligned with security best practices
  • Work independently on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • Background in cybersecurity, information security, or a closely related field
  • Solid understanding of threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, and risk classification
  • Genuinely curious about how AI systems are built, deployed, and potentially exploited
  • Analytical and precise — you think in edge cases and know how to document findings clearly
  • Comfortable working independently on complex, open-ended security problems

Nice to Have

  • Hands-on experience with penetration testing, red teaming, or adversarial research
  • Familiarity with large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, or AI safety concepts
  • Background in application security, API security, or ML infrastructure
  • Experience evaluating or auditing AI/ML systems in production environments
  • Prior work in emerging technology risk, AI governance, or responsible AI frameworks

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, impactful work
  • Contribute to AI safety research that has real consequences for how AI is deployed in the world
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
