Job Description

About The Role

What if your job was to break things on purpose? We're looking for security-minded professionals to stress-test, probe, and challenge AI systems — finding the cracks before bad actors do. Your work will directly shape the safety and reliability of AI products used by millions of people worldwide.

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

What You'll Do

Conduct red-teaming exercises to uncover security weaknesses in live AI systems
Craft adversarial prompts and edge-case scenarios designed to test — and break — model guardrails
Evaluate AI outputs for safety issues, bias, and policy compliance
Document vulnerabilities, exploits, and unexpected behaviors in clear, structured reports
Collaborate asynchronously with engineering teams to recommend 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

Strong grasp of cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or vulnerability assessment
Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, large language models (LLMs), or prompt engineering
Creative and analytical mindset — you enjoy finding the edge cases others miss
Excellent written communication and documentation skills
Self-directed and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments
Familiarity with open-source AI platforms is a plus
Background in infosec, ethical hacking, or AI safety research is a bonus — not a requirement

Why This Role Stands Out

Real impact: Your findings directly improve AI safety for products used at scale
Cutting-edge work: Operate at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI — one of the most in-demand skill sets in tech
Full flexibility: Remote-first, async-friendly, and built around your schedule
Build your expertise: Deepen your knowledge in AI red-teaming, a rapidly growing and highly valued field
Grow with us: Strong performers have opportunities for expanded scope and ongoing contract work
