Job Description

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

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

This isn't theoretical work. You'll be analyzing real-world misconfigurations, security failures, and incident patterns across AWS, GCP, and Azure to help AI systems reason about cloud security the way seasoned practitioners do. Your expertise directly shapes how the next generation of AI understands 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 real-world risk and failure patterns
Review and classify IAM, networking, storage, and container security issues
Evaluate misconfigurations and security gaps based on their real-world blast radius and business impact
Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents unfold in practice
Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI models reason more accurately about cloud security

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 concepts
Experience identifying or responding to real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
Able to clearly reason about blast radius, risk exposure, and downstream business impact
Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

Certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer, or CCSP
Experience with cloud security tooling (CSPM, SIEM, CNAPP platforms)
Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or incident response
Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, CIS Benchmarks, or NIST

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 meaningful work that improves how AI understands cybersecurity
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
