About the Role
We partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. Right now, we're looking for experienced cloud security practitioners to help us make AI smarter about how cloud environments actually fail in the real world.
This is a rare opportunity to apply your hands-on security expertise to frontier AI development — working flexibly, remotely, and on your own schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze real-world cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks, misconfigurations, and failure patterns
- Review IAM policies, networking configurations, storage settings, and container security issues for accuracy and impact
- Classify security gaps and cloud-related failures based on real-world blast radius and business impact
- Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how incidents actually unfold in production environments
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly shapes how AI understands cloud security
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience working with cloud environments in production
- Strong familiarity with cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security across one or more major platforms
- Experience identifying or responding to real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
- Ability to reason clearly about risk exposure, blast radius, and downstream business impact
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Cloud security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, Google PCSE, Azure Security Engineer, etc.)
- Experience with cloud penetration testing or red team exercises
- Background in incident response or cloud forensics
- Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud or CIS Benchmarks
Why Join Us
