Application Security Analyst

Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-aware AI systems — and we need people who know how software actually breaks in the real world.

As an Application Security Analyst, you'll work with realistic security scenarios to help AI models learn how to assess, prioritize, and remediate application risk. Your hands-on experience with production vulnerabilities will directly shape how frontier AI understands software security.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze real-world application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and system behavior
• Classify and evaluate vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic weaknesses
• Assess the quality of secure coding practices and proposed remediation strategies
• Build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI to think like an experienced security engineer
• Distinguish genuinely exploitable risks from theoretical edge cases with clear, structured justifications
  
  

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-level vulnerabilities
