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 frontier AI models — and we need experienced application security professionals to help us get it right.
You'll work with realistic, production-grade security scenarios to help AI systems learn how to think like a skilled AppSec analyst: assessing risk, identifying exploitability, and recommending smart remediation. This isn't theoretical work — it's grounded in the messy, complex reality of how software actually breaks.
- 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 assess vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic bugs
- Evaluate secure coding practices and the quality of proposed remediation strategies
- Create and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to assess and prioritize application risk accurately
- Distinguish genuine exploitability from theoretical or low-impact risk — and explain your reasoning clearly
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in application security, product security, or software security engineering
- Solid working knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and common production vulnerabilities
- Able to think like both an attacker and a defender — you know what actually matters in a real environment
- Strong written communication skills with the ability to structure and explain security reasoning clearly
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on async, task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with penetration testing, threat modeling, or secure code review
- Familiarity with bug bounty programs or vulnerability disclosure processes
- Background in DevSecOps or security tooling integration
