AI​/Emerging Tech Security Analyst

About The Role

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

• Analyze AI and LLM security scenarios to understand how models behave under adversarial, edge-case, or unexpected conditions
• Review and evaluate cases involving prompt injection, data leakage, model abuse, and system misuse
• Classify security vulnerabilities by real-world impact and likelihood, and recommend appropriate mitigations
• Apply threat modeling frameworks to emerging AI technologies and deployment contexts
• Help evaluate and improve AI system behavior so it remains safe, reliable, and aligned with security best practices
• Work independently and asynchronously on structured, task-based assignments

• Background in cybersecurity, information security, or a closely related field
• Strong understanding of modern threat modeling — and genuine curiosity about how it applies to AI systems
• Familiar with adversarial attack concepts, including prompt injection, data exfiltration, and model manipulation
• Analytical and precise — you dig into complex systems, not just surface-level issues
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and intellectually curious about the security implications of emerging technology

• Hands-on experience with penetration testing, red teaming, or vulnerability research
• Familiarity with how large language models (LLMs) are built, fine-tuned, or deployed
• Background in AI safety, responsible AI, or machine learning systems
• Experience with security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, STRIDE, or similar
• Prior exposure to AI evaluation workflows or adversarial ML research

• 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, high-impact work
• Contribute to a field that matters — AI security is one of the most consequential challenges in tech today
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
