AI / Emerging Tech Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

What if your security expertise could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems defend against attacks, misuse, and manipulation? We're looking for AI Security Analysts to stress-test frontier AI models — identifying vulnerabilities, evaluating adversarial scenarios, and helping ensure that cutting-edge AI stays safe, reliable, and aligned with real-world security standards.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for security professionals who are curious about how modern AI systems behave when pushed to their limits. If you understand how things break — and why that matters — this role was made for you.

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

What You'll Do

Analyze AI and LLM security scenarios to understand how models behave under adversarial, edge-case, or unexpected conditions
Review and evaluate prompt injection attacks, data leakage risks, model abuse patterns, and system misuse cases
Classify security issues by real-world impact and likelihood, and recommend appropriate mitigations
Help evaluate and improve AI system behavior so it remains safe, reliable, and aligned with security best practices
Work across realistic scenarios drawn from the cutting edge of AI deployment and research
Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule

Who You Are

Background in cybersecurity, application security, or a related field — with a strong interest in how AI systems are built and deployed
Familiar with modern security threat modeling and how those concepts apply to emerging AI technologies
Naturally analytical and precise — you think carefully about complex systems and potential failure modes
Curious about AI: how large language models work, where they can go wrong, and what it takes to keep them safe
Comfortable working independently and communicating findings clearly in writing

Nice to Have

Hands-on experience with penetration testing, red teaming, or adversarial security research
Familiarity with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering
Background in application security, cloud security, or software engineering
Experience with threat modeling frameworks or security risk classification
Prior involvement in AI safety, alignment research, or responsible AI initiatives

Why Join Us

Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
Make a tangible impact on the safety and security of AI systems that affect millions of people
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
