AI Security Analyst

AI Security Analyst

About the Role

AI systems are only as safe as the people who test them — and that's where you come in. We're looking for security-minded professionals to probe, stress-test, and red-team AI models, uncovering weaknesses before they become real-world problems. Your work will directly shape the safety and reliability of AI products used by millions of people worldwide.

This is a remote, flexible contract role where your expertise in cybersecurity and adversarial thinking translates into meaningful impact on one of the most critical frontiers in tech.

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

What You'll Do

• Conduct red-teaming exercises to surface security weaknesses in AI systems
• Design and execute adversarial prompts and edge-case scenarios to test model guardrails
• Evaluate AI outputs for safety, bias, and policy compliance
• Document vulnerabilities, exploits, and unexpected behaviors in clear, structured reports
• Collaborate with engineering teams to recommend practical mitigations and improvements
• Stay sharp on emerging AI security threats, jailbreak techniques, and evolving best practices
• Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols

Who You Are

• Solid grounding in cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or vulnerability research
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering
• A creative, adversarial mindset — you love finding the cracks in things to make them stronger
• Strong written communication skills for clear, actionable reporting
• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments
• Familiarity with open-source AI platforms is a plus
• Background in infosec, ethical hacking, or AI safety research is a bonus — but not a dealbreaker

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on the cutting edge — AI security is one of the fastest-growing and most consequential fields in tech right now
• Real impact — your findings directly improve AI systems used by millions
• Full flexibility — set your own schedule, work from anywhere, and take on as much or as little as fits your life
• Build in-demand expertise — deepen your skills at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI, two of the hottest domains in the industry
• Grow with the work — strong performers have opportunities for expanded scope and contract extensions
