Application Security Analyst

Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

You know how software actually breaks in production. You can tell the difference between a theoretical vulnerability and a genuine exploit path. Now, put that instinct to work on one of the most impactful problems in tech: teaching AI to think like a security expert.

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build cutting-edge AI models. We're looking for experienced application security professionals to help AI systems learn how to assess, prioritize, and remediate real-world software risk — accurately and at scale.

• 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 system behavior
• Classify and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, and business logic issues
• Assess secure coding practices and the quality of proposed remediation strategies
• Create and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that train AI to think critically about software risk
• Provide structured, expert-level written analysis that helps AI models distinguish genuine exploitability from noise

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
• Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerabilities found in production systems
• Able to assess real-world exploitability rather than just theoretical risk surface
• Strong written communication skills — you can explain complex security reasoning clearly and concisely
• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with penetration testing, bug bounty programs, or secure code review
• Background in security engineering, DevSecOps, or product security
• Familiarity with AI training workflows or data annotation

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Your expertise shapes how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity — a meaningful, lasting contribution
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
