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
