AI Red Team Tester

About The Role

If you've ever looked at a system and immediately started thinking about how to break it — this role was made for you. We're looking for security-minded professionals to stress-test AI systems, expose their weaknesses, and help build the next generation of safe, reliable AI.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your findings directly shape how AI behaves in the real world.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Design and execute red-teaming exercises to uncover security weaknesses in AI systems
• Craft adversarial prompts and edge-case scenarios to probe model guardrails and safety filters
• Evaluate AI outputs for unsafe behavior, 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 adversarial research
• Help define and refine security evaluation rubrics and testing protocols

Who You Are

• Strong understanding of cybersecurity concepts — threat modeling, penetration testing, or ethical hacking
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems, large language models, or prompt engineering
• Creative and analytical — you enjoy finding the edge cases others miss
• Excellent written communication and documentation skills
• Comfortable working independently in an asynchronous, task-based environment
• Familiarity with open-source AI platforms or LLM ecosystems is a plus
• Background in infosec, AI safety research, or adversarial ML is a bonus — but not required

Why Join Us

• Work at the cutting edge of AI security alongside top research labs
• See your work directly improve the safety of AI products used by millions of people
• Full autonomy and a flexible schedule — work when and how you work best
• Build deep, marketable expertise in one of the fastest-growing fields in tech
• Ongoing contract potential with opportunities to expand scope and responsibility
• Be part of a global community of experts shaping the future of responsible AI
