Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models — and we need people who truly understand how software breaks in the real world.
As an Application Security Analyst, you'll work on realistic, production-grade security scenarios to help AI systems learn how to assess, prioritize, and remediate application risk the way an expert would. Your hands-on experience with real vulnerabilities is exactly what's needed to make AI smarter and safer.
