Application Security Analyst (AI Training) About The Role What if your security expertise could help the next generation of AI systems understand how software actually breaks in the real world? We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build training data that teaches AI how to think about application security — from identifying real exploitability to recommending sound remediation strategies. If you've spent time in the trenches of application, product, or software security, your instincts and knowledge are exactly what we need.
