About this Role
What You'll Do
- Analyze realistic enterprise network, endpoint, and email security scenarios to evaluate how threats, controls, and failures interact in production environments
- Review firewall, EDR, and infrastructure security cases — identifying what went wrong, why, and what the business impact is
- Classify incidents, misconfigurations, and control failures using structured frameworks based on real operational data
- Create, label, and validate security training and evaluation datasets used to improve AI models
- Provide clear, expert-level explanations of root causes and remediation paths that AI systems can learn from
About the Role
We're looking for experienced infrastructure and network security practitioners to help shape the next generation of AI-driven security systems. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs — and your hands-on security expertise will directly influence how AI understands, reasons about, and responds to real-world threats. This is a unique opportunity to apply your hard-won operational knowledge to frontier AI development, on your own schedule, from anywhere in the world.

Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in network security, infrastructure security, or endpoint security roles
- Solid familiarity with firewalls, EDR platforms, email security gateways, IAM systems, and SIEMs
- Deep understanding of how real enterprises deploy, operate, and fail at security controls
- Able to clearly articulate security issues, root causes, and business risk — in writing
- Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with threat hunting, incident response, or red/blue team operations
- Background in security architecture, cloud security, or zero-trust environments
- Familiarity with AI systems, data labeling, or security research workflows
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI projects alongside top-tier AI research labs
- Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance flexibility with meaningful, intellectually stimulating work
- Contribute to AI systems that will shape the future of enterprise security

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the assessment actually like?
Notoriously strict. Alignerr uses TestGorilla for role-specific timed tests — a blank coding environment for engineers, rigorous grammar and fact-checking for writers. There is almost no hand-holding. The critical catch: this is essentially a one-shot process. Fail or abandon the assessment, and you are typically locked out of that role permanently with no option to retake.
How quickly can I start earning after I pass?
Not immediately. Even after passing the assessment and completing identity verification (via Persona) and billing setup (via Deel), you may sit in a waiting pool for weeks or months. You only start earning when a project matching your specific skills launches and you are officially assigned. Do not plan around Alignerr income until you are actively on a project.
Is there a community?
Yes — and it is one of Alignerr's genuine strengths. Once assigned to a project, you are added to Slack channels where you can ask questions, get rubric clarifications from admins, and talk to other AI trainers. This is rare in AI training and makes a real difference when guidelines are ambiguous or change mid-project.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
What is the barrier to entry?
Alignerr is known for difficult technical assessments. You must pass a timed test in your specific domain (e.g., Python, Physics, or Language) before you are eligible for any paid projects.
