About this Role
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
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
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
Requirements
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in Software Engineering

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the assessment actually like?
Notoriously strict. Alignerr uses TestGorilla for role-specific timed tests — a blank coding environment for engineers, rigorous grammar and fact-checking for writers. There is almost no hand-holding. The critical catch: this is essentially a one-shot process. Fail or abandon the assessment, and you are typically locked out of that role permanently with no option to retake.
How quickly can I start earning after I pass?
Not immediately. Even after passing the assessment and completing identity verification (via Persona) and billing setup (via Deel), you may sit in a waiting pool for weeks or months. You only start earning when a project matching your specific skills launches and you are officially assigned. Do not plan around Alignerr income until you are actively on a project.
Is there a community?
Yes — and it is one of Alignerr's genuine strengths. Once assigned to a project, you are added to Slack channels where you can ask questions, get rubric clarifications from admins, and talk to other AI trainers. This is rare in AI training and makes a real difference when guidelines are ambiguous or change mid-project.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
What is the barrier to entry?
Alignerr is known for difficult technical assessments. You must pass a timed test in your specific domain (e.g., Python, Physics, or Language) before you are eligible for any paid projects.
