About the Role
We partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. Right now, 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.
This is a unique opportunity to apply your hands-on security expertise to directly shape how frontier AI systems reason about cloud risk, misconfigurations, and incident response.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
- Location: Fully Remote
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 permissions, and container security issues
- Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact and blast radius
- Evaluate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it accurately reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves the quality of AI security models
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience working with cloud environments in production
- Solid familiarity with cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security concepts
- Experience identifying and reasoning about real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
- Ability to clearly articulate blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on async, task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience across multiple cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Background in cloud security architecture, penetration testing, or incident response
- Familiarity with AI evaluation or dataset annotation workflows
- Relevant certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, GCSA, etc.)
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside world-class research teams
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Meaningful work that shapes how AI understands and reasons about real-world security
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
