Cloud Security Analyst

Alignerr

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 looking for experienced cloud security practitioners to help us develop datasets and evaluations focused on real-world cloud infrastructure security.

This isn't theoretical work. We need people who have seen cloud environments fail in production — who understand what a misconfigured IAM policy actually means, and how a storage exposure can cascade into a serious incident. Your hands-on knowledge will directly shape how AI systems reason about cloud security.

  • 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 and real-world failure patterns
  • Review IAM policies, networking configurations, storage permissions, and container security issues
  • Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on actual business impact
  • Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents unfold in practice
  • Provide structured, expert feedback that helps frontier AI models reason more accurately about cloud security

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 cloud platforms
  • Experience recognizing and reasoning about real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
  • Ability to think clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and downstream business impact
  • Strong written communication skills — you can explain complex security concepts clearly and concisely

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud, AWS Security Hub)
  • Background in incident response, cloud penetration testing, or security architecture
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, or NIST

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems at the cutting edge of AI safety and security research
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world
  • Freelance autonomy: no meetings, no bureaucracy, just meaningful expert work
  • Collaborate with a global network of technical specialists and AI researchers
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
