Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
Alignerr partners with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Right now, we're looking for experienced cloud security practitioners to help us train AI systems that reason accurately about real-world cloud threats, misconfigurations, and incidents.
This isn't a typical security role. You'll be applying your hard-won production experience to shape how AI understands cloud security — helping it think the way a seasoned practitioner actually does.

Classify security gaps and vulnerabilities based on real-world impact, blast radius, and business risk
Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
Provide structured expert feedback that directly improves AI security capabilities
