Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
If you know how software breaks in the real world — not just in theory — this role was built for you. We're partnering with leading AI research labs to train frontier AI models to think like experienced security professionals. Your hands-on expertise in application security will directly shape how AI systems assess, prioritize, and reason about software vulnerabilities.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract opportunity where your security knowledge becomes the foundation for the next generation of AI.
- 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 evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, and business logic issues
- Assess secure coding practices and evaluate remediation strategies for real-world applicability
- Build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI to accurately assess and prioritize application risk
- Distinguish genuine exploitability from theoretical risk — and explain your reasoning clearly
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
- Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common production vulnerabilities
