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 looking for experienced infrastructure and network security professionals to help us make AI smarter about how real-world security works.

Your hands-on knowledge of enterprise security — the tools, the failures, the edge cases — is exactly what's needed to evaluate and improve the next generation of AI-driven security systems. This is a unique opportunity to apply your practitioner expertise to frontier AI development, on your own schedule.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Analyze network, endpoint, and email security scenarios across modern enterprise environments
  • Review firewall, EDR, and infrastructure security cases to identify what went wrong, why, and what the business impact was
  • Classify incidents, misconfigurations, and control failures based on real operational data
  • Create, label, and validate security training and evaluation datasets used to improve AI systems
  • Clearly articulate root causes, attacker techniques, and defensive gaps in a structured format

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in network, infrastructure, or endpoint security
  • Familiar with firewalls, EDR platforms, email security gateways, IAM systems, and SIEMs
  • Strong understanding of how security controls are deployed and operated in real enterprise environments
  • Able to explain complex security issues clearly — root causes, business impact, and remediation — in plain language
  • Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently and asynchronously

Nice to Have

  • Experience in threat hunting, incident response, or red/blue team operations
  • Familiarity with cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP) or hybrid enterprise environments
  • Background in writing security documentation, post-mortems, or runbooks
  • Prior experience working with AI or data labeling workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top-tier research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Put your real-world security expertise to work on meaningful, high-impact projects
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
