About the Role
We're partnering 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 on realistic, production-grade security scenarios to help AI models learn how to assess vulnerabilities, prioritize risk, and reason about remediation strategies. Your hands-on security expertise will directly shape the next generation of AI systems.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze realistic application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and system behavior
- Classify vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, authorization issues, and business logic weaknesses
- Evaluate the quality of secure coding practices and proposed remediation strategies
- Distinguish genuine exploitability from theoretical or low-impact risk
- Help build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to accurately assess application risk
- Provide structured, clearly written security analysis that AI systems can learn from
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
- Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and how vulnerabilities manifest in real production environments
- Able to think like an attacker — understanding not just what the flaw is, but how it could be exploited
- Strong written communication skills with the ability to reason through complex security problems clearly and concisely
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with penetration testing, bug bounty programs, or secure code review
- Background in API security, cloud security, or DevSecOps
- Familiarity with AI workflows or data labeling projects
