About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research teams to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need security professionals who understand how software actually breaks in the real world. As an Application Security Analyst, you'll work with realistic security scenarios to help frontier AI models learn how to assess, prioritize, and reason about application risk. Your hands-on experience with production vulnerabilities is exactly what's needed to make AI more security-aware.

What You'll Do

  • Review and analyze real-world application security scenarios across code, APIs, and system behavior
  • Classify vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, injection risks, and business logic issues
  • Evaluate secure coding practices and assess the quality of remediation strategies
  • Create and validate security-focused reasoning datasets that teach AI how to accurately assess application risk
  • Distinguish genuine exploitability from theoretical risk across a range of scenarios

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 vulnerabilities
  • Able to think like an attacker and articulate risk clearly and precisely
  • Strong written communication skills with the ability to structure security reasoning for a technical audience
  • Self-directed and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with penetration testing, threat modeling, or secure code review
  • Background in bug bounty programs or red teaming
  • Familiarity with AI or machine learning evaluation workflows
