Application Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need security professionals who understand how software actually breaks in the real world.
As an Application Security Analyst, you'll work with realistic security scenarios to help frontier AI models learn how to assess, prioritize, and remediate application risk. Your expertise in identifying exploitable vulnerabilities — not just theoretical ones — will directly shape how AI reasons about software security.
If you've spent time hunting bugs, reviewing code for security flaws, or triaging vulnerabilities in production systems, this is a rare opportunity to put that knowledge to work on some of the most impactful AI projects being built today.
