About the Role

We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate frontier AI models — and we need cloud security practitioners who know how cloud environments actually fail.

What You'll Do

- 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

Who You Are

- 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

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