Application Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We partner 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 hands-on experience with production vulnerabilities is exactly what's needed to make AI reasoning about security genuinely trustworthy.
