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 develop datasets and evaluations focused on cloud security and modern infrastructure.

This isn't a theoretical role. We want people who have seen how cloud environments actually break — and can bring that real-world perspective to help AI reason better about security.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks and failure patterns
  • Review IAM, networking, storage, and container security issues in realistic contexts
  • Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact
  • Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents unfold
  • 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
  • Solid understanding of cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security
  • Familiar with real-world misconfigurations and security incidents — not just theory
  • Able to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
  • Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, etc.)
  • Background in incident response, penetration testing, or cloud architecture
  • Familiarity with AI evaluation workflows or data labeling projects

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
  • Contribute to AI that needs to understand security the way real practitioners do
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
