Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your security instincts could make AI smarter? At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train frontier AI models - and we need experienced application security professionals to help us get it right. You'll work with realistic, production-grade security scenarios to help AI systems learn how to think like a skilled AppSec analyst: assessing risk, identifying exploitability, and recommending smart remediation. This isn't theoretical work - it's grounded in the messy, complex reality of how software actually breaks.
