Cloud Security Analyst

About The Role

We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate frontier AI models — and we need cloud security practitioners who know how cloud environments actually fail. This is a unique opportunity to apply your real-world security expertise to one of the most impactful fields in tech: AI training. You won't be writing policies or filing tickets — you'll be shaping how AI systems reason about cloud security risks, misconfigurations, and incidents.

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 realistic risks and failure patterns
• Review IAM policies, networking configurations, storage controls, and container security for gaps and misconfigurations
• Classify security failures based on real-world blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
• Evaluate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
• Provide structured expert feedback that directly improves AI model quality and accuracy

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
• Experience identifying or responding to real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
• Able to reason clearly about blast radius, attack surface, and downstream business impact
• Detail-oriented with clear written communication skills
• Comfortable working independently and asynchronously

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools
• Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or incident response
• Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, or SOC 2
• Prior work on AI or data annotation projects

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Contribute to work that meaningfully improves how AI understands security
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
