About the Role
We partner 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 cloud security experience to frontier AI development. You'll analyze real-world scenarios, validate AI reasoning, and directly influence how the next generation of AI understands cloud infrastructure and security risk.
- 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 based on real-world impact
- Classify security gaps and cloud-related failures using your practitioner knowledge
- Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it accurately reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
- Help shape datasets and evaluations that make AI smarter about cloud infrastructure security
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, vulnerabilities, and security incidents
- Able to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
- Self-directed, detail-oriented, and comfortable working asynchronously
Nice to Have
- Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center, Defender for Cloud)
- Background in incident response, penetration testing, or cloud architecture
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, CIS Benchmarks, or NIST
- Prior experience with AI evaluation or data annotation workflows
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
- Put your real-world cloud security expertise to work in a high-impact, meaningful way
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
