About the Role
We partner with the world's leading AI research teams to build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Right now, we're looking for experienced cloud security practitioners to help us make AI smarter about how cloud environments actually fail in the real world.
Your hands-on knowledge of AWS, GCP, and Azure — the misconfigurations, the blast radii, the incidents you've seen unfold — is exactly what's needed to train the next generation of AI security systems. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role that fits around your schedule.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Contract / Task-Based
- 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 and evaluate IAM, networking, storage, 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 unfold
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI security capabilities
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
- Familiarity with real-world misconfigurations, security incidents, and how they escalate
- Able to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
- Strong written communication — you can explain complex security concepts clearly
Nice to Have
- Experience with cloud security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, etc.)
- Background in incident response, penetration testing, or cloud architecture
- Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK Cloud or CSA CCM
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Your expertise shapes how AI understands and reasons about cloud security
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
