Application Security Analyst

Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research teams to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need security professionals who understand how software actually breaks in the real world.

As an Application Security Analyst, you'll work with realistic security scenarios to help frontier AI models learn how to assess, prioritize, and reason about application risk. Your hands-on experience with production vulnerabilities is exactly what's needed to make AI more security-aware.
