Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
Cloud breaches don't happen in textbooks — they happen in production. At Alignerr, we partner with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI security systems, and we need practitioners who've seen how cloud environments actually fail.
If you've worked hands-on with AWS, GCP, or Azure and understand the real-world impact of misconfigurations, IAM sprawl, and exposed storage buckets, your expertise can directly shape how AI reasons about cloud security. This is a rare opportunity to contribute your field knowledge to frontier AI development — on your own schedule.
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 risks, misconfigurations, and failure patterns
Review IAM policies, network configurations, storage permissions, and container security setups for real-world vulnerabilities
Classify security gaps and cloud-related failures based on blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
Contribute structured, expert-level feedback that directly improves AI security evaluation systems
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 one or more major providers
Familiar with real-world misconfigurations, incident patterns, and how security failures propagate
Able to think clearly and communicate precisely about risk, attack surface, and business impact
Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
Experience with cloud security frameworks (CIS Benchmarks, CSPM tools, MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud)
Background in security engineering, cloud architecture, or DevSecOps
Familiarity with AI or data annotation workflows
Certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, or equivalent
