Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
About the Role
If you know how software breaks in the real world — not just in theory — this role was built for you. We're partnering with leading AI research labs to train frontier AI models to think like experienced security professionals. Your hands-on expertise in application security will directly shape how AI systems assess, prioritize, and reason about software vulnerabilities.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract opportunity where your security knowledge becomes the foundation for the next generation of AI.
- 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 live system behavior
- Classify and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, and business logic issues
- Assess secure coding practices and evaluate remediation strategies for real-world applicability
- Build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI to accurately assess and prioritize application risk
- Distinguish genuine exploitability from theoretical risk — and explain your reasoning clearly
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
- Able to think critically about real-world exploitability — not just textbook risk
- Strong written communication skills with the ability to structure technical reasoning clearly
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously
Nice to Have
- Experience with penetration testing, bug bounty programs, or secure code review
- Background in API security, cloud-native application security, or DevSecOps
- Familiarity with threat modeling frameworks or risk scoring methodologies
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
- Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Apply your security expertise to a genuinely new and meaningful challenge
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
