Application Security Analyst
Job description
Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
About the Role
What if your security knowledge could train the next generation of AI systems to reason about risk the way a seasoned expert does?
Alignerr partners with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. We're looking for application security professionals who understand how software truly breaks in production — and can translate that expertise into structured reasoning that teaches AI to assess, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities accurately.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You set your own hours and work at your own pace.
- 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 assess vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control gaps, and business logic issues
- Evaluate the quality of secure coding practices and proposed remediation strategies
- Build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to think like an expert analyst
- Distinguish real-world exploitability from theoretical risk with clear, structured written reasoning
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
- Solid working knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and how vulnerabilities manifest in production systems
- Able to think critically about risk — separating genuine threats from noise
- Strong written communication skills with the ability to explain security reasoning clearly and systematically
- Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with penetration testing, secure code review, or bug bounty programs
- Familiarity with API security, cloud-native architectures, or DevSecOps practices
- Background in writing security documentation, threat models, or vulnerability reports
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research teams
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where you want
- Freelance autonomy with the backing of a leading AI training organization
- Meaningful, intellectually engaging work that puts your security expertise to use in a new way
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
