Application Security Analyst

About the Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more security-aware AI systems — and we need experienced application security professionals to make it happen.

If you know how software actually breaks in production, how vulnerabilities emerge in real systems, and how to separate genuine exploitability from theoretical noise, this role was built for you. Your expertise will directly shape how frontier AI reasons about application security risk.
