About this role
Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
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
- Able to think like an attacker — you know the difference between a real exploit and a theoretical edge case
- Strong written communicator who can explain complex security reasoning clearly and concisely
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on flexible, task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with penetration testing, bug bounty programs, or secure code review
- Background in DevSecOps or product security engineering
- Familiarity with AI systems, red-teaming, or security evaluation frameworks
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your schedule, at your pace
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Make a meaningful impact by helping AI reason about security the way the best practitioners do
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
A legitimate, well-funded platform (built by Labelbox) with strong rates for experts. The real catch is availability — per-approved-task pay and quiet stretches between projects.
