About the Role
We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need security professionals who understand how software actually breaks in the real world.
As an Application Security Analyst, you'll work with realistic security scenarios to help frontier AI models learn how to identify, assess, and prioritize application risk. Your hands-on expertise becomes the foundation for the next generation of AI-powered security reasoning.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze real-world application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and system behavior
- Classify and annotate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic weaknesses
- Evaluate secure coding practices and assess the quality of proposed remediation strategies
- Distinguish genuine exploitability from theoretical or low-risk findings
- Help create and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to assess application risk accurately and responsibly
Who You Are
- 2+ years of experience in application security, product security, or software security roles
- Solid working knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and common production vulnerabilities
- Ability to think like an attacker — and communicate findings like a trusted advisor
