Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

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 security experience to one of the most impactful fields in tech: making AI systems smarter, safer, and more accurate when it comes to cloud infrastructure.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze real-world cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks, misconfigurations, and failure patterns
• Review and evaluate IAM, networking, storage, and container security issues
• Classify security gaps and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact and blast radius
• Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
• Help shape the next generation of AI security intelligence with your practitioner-level knowledge

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
• Familiarity with real-world misconfigurations and security incidents across major cloud platforms
• Able to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
• Self-directed and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud security frameworks or compliance standards (e.g., CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, NIST)
• Background in security engineering, DevSecOps, or cloud architecture
• Familiarity with AI evaluation or data annotation workflows

Why Join Us

• 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
• Meaningful work that directly improves how AI understands and reasons about cloud security
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
