This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your offensive security expertise meets the cutting edge of artificial intelligence. You'll work on high-impact projects that directly improve the security posture of AI systems used at scale.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
Conduct penetration tests against AI-powered applications, APIs, and infrastructure to uncover security vulnerabilities
Identify and exploit weaknesses in AI/ML pipelines, including prompt injection, model manipulation, data poisoning vectors, and authentication flaws
Perform web application, network, and API security assessments using industry-standard tools and methodologies
Simulate real-world attack scenarios — from reconnaissance through exploitation and post-exploitation
Document findings in clear, structured reports with severity ratings, evidence, and actionable remediation guidance
Evaluate AI-specific attack surfaces including adversarial inputs, jailbreaks, and data exfiltration risks
Stay current with emerging AI security threats and contribute insights to improve testing methodologies
Work independently on task-based engagements on your own schedule
Who You Are
Experienced penetration tester with a strong understanding of offensive security principles and methodologies (OWASP, PTES, MITRE ATT&CK)
Proficient with industry-standard tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, Kali Linux, or equivalent
Solid understanding of web application security, network security, and API security testing
Able to think like an attacker — creative, persistent, and methodical in finding what others miss
Strong written communication skills — you can translate complex technical findings into clear, actionable reports
Self‑motivated and reliable when working independently without direct supervision
Comfortable working across diverse technology stacks and environments
Nice to Have
