About the Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need cloud security practitioners who know how cloud environments actually fail.
This is a unique opportunity to apply your hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, and Azure to directly influence how frontier AI models reason about security. If you've dealt with real-world misconfigurations, IAM blunders, or cloud incidents, your expertise is exactly what we need.
- 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 policies, networking configurations, storage access controls, and container security issues
- Classify security gaps and real-world cloud failures based on their business impact and blast radius
- Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it reflects how cloud incidents actually 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
- Strong familiarity with cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security concepts
- Experience identifying and reasoning through real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
- Able to think clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
- Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience in cloud security engineering, DevSecOps, or penetration testing
- Familiarity with cloud security frameworks (CIS Benchmarks, CSPM tools, etc.)
- Background in incident response or cloud threat modeling
- Security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, etc.)
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Make a tangible impact on how AI reasons about real-world cloud security
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
