Cloud Security Analyst
Job Description
About The Role
We partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. Right now, we're building datasets and evaluations focused on cloud security and modern infrastructure — and we need practitioners who truly understand how cloud environments fail in the real world.
This is a unique opportunity to apply your hands-on cloud security knowledge to directly influence how the next generation of AI reasons about security incidents, misconfigurations, and risk.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
- Analyze real-world cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks and failure patterns
- Review and assess 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
- Help ensure AI systems reason correctly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
- 2+ years of hands-on experience working with cloud environments in production
- Solid understanding of cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security concepts
- Familiarity with real-world misconfigurations and security incidents across major cloud providers
- Able to reason clearly and precisely about security risk, blast radius, and downstream business impact
- Strong written communication skills for structured feedback and documentation
- Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center, Microsoft Defender for Cloud)
- Background in penetration testing, threat modeling, or incident response
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, or NIST
- Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Contribute meaningful work that shapes how AI understands cloud security
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
