AI / Emerging Tech Security Analyst

AI / Emerging Tech Security Analyst

About the Role

What if your security expertise could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems defend themselves against attack? We're looking for AI Security Analysts to stress-test frontier AI models — probing for weaknesses, analyzing real-world threat scenarios, and helping ensure the AI systems increasingly embedded in our world are safe, reliable, and resilient.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for security professionals who are curious about how AI systems are built, deployed, and abused. If you've ever wondered what happens when you push a language model past its limits — this is the role for you.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Analyze real-world AI and LLM security scenarios to understand how models behave under adversarial or unexpected conditions
• Investigate prompt injection attacks, data leakage risks, model abuse cases, and system misuse patterns
• Classify security vulnerabilities and evaluate appropriate mitigations based on real-world impact and likelihood
• Apply structured threat modeling frameworks to emerging AI technologies
• Evaluate and improve AI system behavior to ensure it remains safe, aligned, and resistant to exploitation
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Background in cybersecurity, information security, or a closely related technical field
• Strong understanding of security threat modeling and how it applies to modern AI and LLM systems
• Familiar with adversarial attack surfaces — prompt injection, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, and system boundary abuse
• Analytical and precise — you think in edge cases and worst-case scenarios
• Naturally curious about how AI systems are built, and where they can break
• Comfortable working independently on complex, open-ended security problems

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with penetration testing, red teaming, or vulnerability research
• Familiarity with large language models, generative AI, or AI safety concepts
• Background in applied security research, DevSecOps, or secure software development
• Experience evaluating AI tools or APIs from a security perspective

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside world-leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact security work
• Contribute to AI safety at the frontier — your analysis shapes how the most advanced models in the world defend against real threats
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
