Job Description

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI systems. Right now, we're looking for experienced cloud security practitioners to help train and evaluate AI models on real-world cloud security scenarios.

This isn't a typical analyst role. Your deep knowledge of how cloud environments actually fail — misconfigurations, IAM issues, blast radius, the works — will directly shape how AI understands and reasons about cloud security. If you've spent time in the trenches of production cloud environments, this is your opportunity to put that expertise to work on frontier AI.

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

What You'll Do

Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks and failure patterns
Review and evaluate IAM configurations, networking setups, storage policies, 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 unfold in practice
Provide structured feedback that helps AI systems reason more reliably about cloud risk

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 across at least one major provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Experience with real-world misconfigurations and security incidents — you know what goes wrong and why
Able to reason clearly and communicate effectively about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

Experience across multiple cloud providers
Background in cloud security engineering, DevSecOps, or penetration testing
Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud, or CSA CCM
Prior experience working with AI systems or data annotation projects

Why Join Us

Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research teams
Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
Meaningful work that advances the state of AI security reasoning
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
