About The Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need practitioners who truly understand how cloud environments fail in the real world. As a Cloud Security Analyst, you'll analyze real-world cloud security scenarios, identify failure patterns, and help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models on cloud infrastructure security. Your hands-on expertise will directly shape how the next generation of AI reasons about cloud risk.
What You'll Do
- Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks, misconfigurations, and failure patterns
- Review and evaluate IAM, networking, storage, and container security issues in realistic contexts
- Classify security gaps and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact and blast radius
- Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
- Provide structured, expert feedback that helps frontier AI models think like a seasoned cloud security practitioner
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 concepts
- Familiar with real-world misconfigurations, incident patterns, and their downstream consequences
- Able to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center, Azure Defender)
- Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or cloud incident response
- Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, or the Cloud Security Alliance guidelines
- Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects
