About the Role

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. We're building datasets and evaluations focused on cloud security and modern infrastructure — and we need practitioners who truly understand how cloud environments fail in the real world.

Your expertise won't just sit on a resume. It will directly shape how AI reasons about cloud security incidents, misconfigurations, and risk — making frontier AI systems smarter and safer for everyone.

  • 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 and failure patterns
  • Review IAM policies, networking configurations, storage settings, and container security issues
  • 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 actually unfold
  • Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments that fit your schedule

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 concepts
  • Familiarity with real-world misconfigurations and security incidents across major cloud platforms
  • Able to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
  • Strong written communication skills and attention to detail

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center, Azure Defender)
  • Background in incident response, penetration testing, or cloud architecture
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, or NIST

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems with top AI research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Contribute to meaningful work that improves how AI understands cloud security
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
