Application Security Analyst

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
