About the Role
We partner with the world's leading AI research teams to build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Right now, we need experienced cloud security practitioners to help train AI systems to reason accurately about how cloud environments fail in the real world.
This isn't a typical security role. Your hands-on knowledge of misconfigurations, IAM failures, and cloud incidents will directly shape how AI understands and responds to modern infrastructure threats.
- 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, misconfigurations, and failure patterns
- Review and evaluate IAM, networking, storage, and container security issues for real-world accuracy
- Classify security gaps and cloud-related failures based on their actual business and operational impact
- Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how cloud incidents truly unfold
- Provide structured, expert feedback that helps frontier AI models think like a seasoned cloud security professional
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 concepts
- Real-world experience with misconfigurations and security incidents — you've seen what actually goes wrong
- Able to clearly reason about blast radius, risk exposure, and downstream business impact
- Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on your own schedule
Nice to Have
- Experience across multiple cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Background in cloud security architecture, penetration testing, or incident response
- Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, or CSA CCM
- Prior experience contributing to AI training, data labeling, or security research projects
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work on your own terms
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
- Make a meaningful impact by shaping how AI understands real-world cloud security
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
