About the Role
What if your security instincts could make AI smarter? At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models — and we need experienced application security professionals to help us get there.
You'll work with realistic, real-world security scenarios to help AI systems learn how to think like a seasoned AppSec engineer: identifying what's actually exploitable, what's noise, and how to prioritize and remediate risk effectively. Your expertise directly shapes how the next generation of AI reasons about software security.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze real-world application security scenarios across code, APIs, and system behavior
- Classify and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, business logic issues, and more
- Assess secure coding practices and remediation strategies for accuracy and effectiveness
- Create and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to assess and prioritize application risk
- Apply your practical judgment to distinguish genuinely exploitable flaws from theoretical or low-impact findings
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
- Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common production vulnerabilities
