AI Security Testing Specialist

Summary

Alignerr is seeking an AI Security Testing Specialist to help stress-test and harden advanced AI models. The role involves conducting red-teaming exercises, designing adversarial prompts, and collaborating with engineering teams to enhance AI system security.

Responsibilities

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

Skills

• You have a solid grasp of cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or ethical hacking
• You've worked with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or prompt engineering in some capacity
• You're a creative, analytical thinker who enjoys breaking things to make them better
• You communicate clearly in writing and can document complex findings for technical audiences
• You're self-directed and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments
• Familiarity with open-source AI platforms is a plus
• A background in infosec, ethical hacking, or AI safety research is a plus — but not required
