Job description

AI Red Team Tester

About the Role

If you've ever looked at a system and immediately started thinking about how to break it — this role was made for you. We're looking for security-minded professionals to stress-test AI systems, expose their weaknesses, and help build the next generation of safe, reliable AI.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your findings directly shape how AI behaves in the real world.

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

What You'll Do

  • Design and execute red-teaming exercises to uncover security weaknesses in AI systems
  • Craft adversarial prompts and edge-case scenarios to probe model guardrails and safety filters
  • Evaluate AI outputs for unsafe behavior, bias, and policy violations
  • Document vulnerabilities, exploits, and unexpected behaviors in clear, structured reports
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to recommend practical mitigations and improvements
  • Stay current on emerging AI security threats, jailbreak techniques, and adversarial research
  • Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols

Who You Are

  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or ethical hacking
  • Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, large language models, or prompt engineering
  • Creative and analytical — you enjoy finding the edge cases others miss
  • Excellent written communication and documentation skills
  • Comfortable working independently in an asynchronous, task-based environment
  • Familiarity with open-source AI platforms or LLM ecosystems is a plus
  • Background in infosec, AI safety research, or adversarial ML is a bonus — but not required

Why Join Us

  • Work at the cutting edge of AI security alongside top research labs
  • See your work directly improve the safety of AI products used by millions of people
  • Full autonomy and a flexible schedule — work when and how you work best
  • Build deep, marketable expertise in one of the fastest-growing fields in tech
  • Ongoing contract potential with opportunities to expand scope and responsibility
  • Be part of a global community of experts shaping the future of responsible AI
