Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI — and we need practitioners who truly understand how cloud environments fail in the real world.
If you've spent time in the trenches of AWS, GCP, or Azure and know what a misconfigured IAM policy or exposed storage bucket looks like in production, this role was built for you. Your expertise will directly shape how AI systems reason about cloud security — making frontier AI more accurate, reliable, and grounded in reality.
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, failure patterns, and real-world attack surfaces
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 and blast radius
Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold in production
Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI models think like experienced cloud security professionals
Who You Are
2+ years of hands-on experience working with cloud environments in production
Strong familiarity with cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security across one or more major cloud platforms
You've seen real-world misconfigurations and security incidents — and know how to reason about their downstream impact
Able to clearly articulate blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact in writing
Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async, remote environment
Nice to Have
Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud, AWS Security Hub)
Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or cloud incident response
Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud, or CSA CCM
Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects
