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.

- 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
