Data Security & DLP Analyst

Temporary

Alignerr

Data Security & DLP Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train frontier AI models. Now we're looking for experienced data security professionals to help us get it right where it matters most — sensitive data, real-world risk, and the controls that stand between exposure and protection.

If you've spent time in security operations, compliance, or data protection and you understand how data leaks actually happen in modern organizations, this is a rare opportunity to put that knowledge to work shaping the next generation of AI.

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

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic data security and DLP scenarios spanning cloud, SaaS, and enterprise environments
  • Classify data sensitivity levels, identify exposure paths, and assess policy violations
  • Evaluate prevention, detection, and incident response strategies for accuracy and completeness
  • Generate, label, and validate data security cases used to train and benchmark AI systems
  • Help AI models reason more accurately about sensitive information, risk, and regulatory context

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in data security, compliance, or security operations
  • Familiar with DLP tools, data classification frameworks, and privacy or regulatory concepts (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)
  • Strong practical understanding of how data risk plays out in real enterprise environments
  • Comfortable analyzing security incidents and articulating nuanced risk decisions in writing
  • Self-directed and reliable — able to deliver quality work asynchronously

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP) or SaaS security controls
  • Background in security engineering, threat modeling, or privacy compliance
  • Familiarity with AI safety, red-teaming, or AI evaluation workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and meaningful work
  • Your expertise directly improves how AI reasons about real-world security risk
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
