Application Security Analyst

Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build AI systems that truly understand software security — not just textbook definitions, but how vulnerabilities actually emerge, get exploited, and get fixed in production environments.

If you know what it takes to break and secure real applications, this is your chance to put that knowledge to work on some of the most advanced AI models being built today.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
  
  

• Analyze realistic application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and live system behavior
• Classify and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, business logic issues, and more
• Assess secure coding practices and remediation strategies for accuracy and real-world applicability
• Help build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to think like a seasoned AppSec professional
• Distinguish genuinely exploitable risks from theoretical noise — and explain your reasoning clearly
  
  

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
• Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common production vulnerability patterns
• Ability to think like an attacker and a defender — and articulate the difference
• Strong written communication skills with a structured, analytical approach
• Comfortable working independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments
  
  

• Experience with penetration testing, secure code review, or bug bounty programs
• Familiarity with threat modeling frameworks
• Background in DevSecOps or security engineering
  
  

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your schedule, your terms
• Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
• Your expertise shapes how the next generation of AI understands cybersecurity
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
