Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
Your application security instincts — built from real-world experience with vulnerabilities, exploits, and broken code — are exactly what's needed to make AI smarter about software risk.
At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. We're looking for security professionals who understand how software actually breaks in production. You'll work with realistic application security scenarios to help frontier AI systems learn how to assess, prioritize, and remediate risk the way a seasoned expert would.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — work on your own schedule, on your own terms.

- Classify vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic failures
- Evaluate secure coding practices and proposed remediation strategies for accuracy and completeness
- Distinguish genuinely exploitable vulnerabilities from theoretical or low-risk concerns
- Help create and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to think like a skilled AppSec professional
Who You Are
- 2+ years of experience in application, product, or software security roles
- Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerabilities found in real production environments
- Able to reason clearly about exploitability, impact, and risk prioritization
- Strong written communication — you can explain security findings in structured, precise language
