About the Role
You know how software actually breaks in production. You can tell the difference between a theoretical vulnerability and a genuine exploit path. Now, put that instinct to work on one of the most impactful problems in tech: teaching AI to think like a security expert.
At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build cutting-edge AI models. We're looking for experienced application security professionals to help AI systems learn how to assess, prioritize, and remediate real-world software risk — accurately and at scale.
- 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 and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, and business logic issues
- Assess secure coding practices and the quality of proposed remediation strategies
- Create and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that train AI to think critically about software risk
- Provide structured, expert-level written analysis that helps AI models distinguish genuine exploitability from noise
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
- Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerabilities found in production systems
- Able to assess real-world exploitability rather than just theoretical risk surface
- Strong written communication skills — you can explain complex security reasoning clearly and concisely
- Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with penetration testing, bug bounty programs, or secure code review
- Background in security engineering, DevSecOps, or product security
- Familiarity with AI training workflows or data annotation
