Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build smarter, more accurate AI security systems --- and we need practitioners who understand how cloud environments actually fail in the real world.

This is your opportunity to apply your hands-on cloud security experience to frontier AI development. You'll analyze real-world scenarios, validate AI-generated reasoning, and help shape how the next generation of AI understands cloud risk.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks and failure patterns
• Review and evaluate IAM, networking, storage, and container security issues
• Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact
• Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
• Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI security capabilities

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience working with cloud environments in production
• Solid understanding of cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security concepts
• Experienced with real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
• Able to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
• Strong written communication skills for documenting findings and feedback
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud security tooling (GuardDuty, Security Command Center, Defender for Cloud, etc.)
• Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or incident response
• Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, or CSA CCM
• Prior experience with AI evaluation or data annotation workflows

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
• Make a meaningful impact on how AI reasons about real-world cloud security
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
