Application Security Analyst

About The Role

Your instinct for how software actually breaks in production is exactly what the next generation of AI needs. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build frontier AI models — and we're looking for experienced application security professionals to help teach AI how to think about real-world risk.

What You'll Do

• Review and analyze realistic application security scenarios across code, APIs, and system behavior
• Classify vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, access control issues, and business logic weaknesses
• Evaluate secure coding practices and the quality of proposed remediation strategies
• Distinguish between genuinely exploitable risks and theoretical edge cases
• Build and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that train AI to assess application risk accurately
• Provide clear, structured written analysis that translates expert judgment into usable training signal

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in application, product, or software security
• Solid familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 and how common vulnerabilities manifest in real production systems
• Able to assess true exploitability rather than just flag theoretical risks
• Strong written communication skills — you can explain complex security reasoning clearly and concisely
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with secure code review or penetration testing
• Background in bug bounty programs or red teaming
• Familiarity with AI systems or data labeling workflows
• Knowledge of multiple programming languages or tech stacks
