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 truly understand how software breaks in the real world.
As an Application Security Analyst, you'll work with realistic security scenarios to help AI models learn how to think like a seasoned security professional: identifying vulnerabilities, weighing exploitability, and recommending sound remediation strategies. Your expertise directly shapes how frontier AI understands and reasons about application risk.
Organization: AlignerrType: Hourly ContractLocation: RemoteCommitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Analyze realistic application security scenarios spanning code, APIs, and system behaviorClassify and prioritize vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, and business logic weaknessesEvaluate secure coding practices and assess the quality of proposed remediation strategiesCreate and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI to accurately assess and communicate application riskDistinguish genuine exploitability from theoretical or low-impact findings — the kind of judgment that separates senior practitioners from the rest
Who You Are
2+ years of hands-on experience in application security, product security, or software security rolesSolid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerabilities encountered in production environmentsAble to think critically about real-world exploitability — not just flag issues, but reason through their actual impactStrong written communication skills with the ability to explain security concepts clearly and systematicallySelf-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
Experience with threat modeling, secure code review, or penetration testingBackground in bug bounty programs or red team/blue team exercisesFamiliarity with AI systems or data labeling workflows
