Data Security & DLP Analyst

Data Security & DLP Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
Data breaches don't happen in textbooks — they happen in cloud misconfigurations, shadow IT, and miscategorized sensitive files. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build models that genuinely understand how data risk works in the real world.
We're looking for experienced data security and DLP professionals to help us do that. Your hands-on knowledge of how sensitive information is exposed, detected, and protected will directly shape the reasoning capabilities of next-generation AI systems.
This is a remote, flexible contract role — you set your hours and work on your own schedule.

Classify data sensitivity levels, exposure pathways, and 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 models
Apply your knowledge of real-world data risk to help AI reason more accurately about sensitive information
Who You Are
2+ years of experience in data security, compliance, or security operations
Familiar with DLP tools, data classification frameworks, and privacy or regulatory concepts (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA)
Practical understanding of how data risk plays out across modern enterprise environments
