We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate frontier AI models. This is a unique opportunity to apply your real-world security expertise to one of the most impactful fields in tech: AI training. You'll shape how AI systems reason about cloud security risks, misconfigurations, and incidents.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify realistic risks and failure patterns
  • Review IAM policies, networking configurations, storage controls, and container security for gaps and misconfigurations
  • Classify security failures based on real-world blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
  • Evaluate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
  • Provide structured expert feedback that directly improves AI model quality and accuracy

Requirements

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience working with cloud environments in production
  • Strong familiarity with cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security across one or more major cloud platforms
  • Experience identifying or responding to real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
  • Able to reason clearly about blast radius, attack surface, and downstream business impact
  • Detail-oriented with clear written communication skills
  • Comfortable working independently and asynchronously

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or incident response
  • Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, or SOC 2
  • Prior work on AI or data annotation projects

Benefits

  • 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
  • Contribute to work that meaningfully improves how AI understands security
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
