AI / Emerging Tech Security Analyst

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 adversarial threats? We're looking for AI Security Analysts to probe frontier AI models, identify vulnerabilities, and help ensure these systems remain safe and reliable in the real world.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role for security professionals with a sharp analytical mind and a genuine curiosity about how AI systems can be exploited — and protected. If you think like an attacker and care about getting it right, this role was built 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 or unexpected conditions
• Investigate prompt injection attacks, data leakage vectors, model abuse patterns, and system misuse cases
• Classify security vulnerabilities and recommend appropriate mitigations based on real-world impact and likelihood
• Evaluate AI system behavior against security best practices and help identify gaps before they become problems
• Work with realistic threat scenarios drawn from the frontier of modern AI deployment
• Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Solid background in cybersecurity, application security, or related disciplines
• Familiar with modern threat modeling concepts and how they apply to AI and machine learning systems
• Naturally curious and analytical — you enjoy pulling systems apart to understand how they break
• Precise and methodical when evaluating complex systems and potential attack surfaces
• Strong written communicator who can clearly document findings and reasoning
• Comfortable working independently without hand-holding

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with LLMs, AI APIs, or machine learning pipelines
• Familiarity with adversarial ML techniques — prompt injection, jailbreaking, model inversion, or similar
• Background in red teaming, penetration testing, or vulnerability research
• Experience with AI safety, alignment, or responsible AI development
• Knowledge of emerging AI security frameworks or standards

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Contribute to a domain that sits at the cutting edge of both security and AI
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
