About this role · Coding
About the Role We're partnering with 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 cloud security scenarios, identify failure patterns, and help train AI models to reason accurately about modern infrastructure risk. Your hands-on expertise becomes the foundation for the next generation of AI security intelligence. - 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 failure patterns - Review IAM configurations, networking setups, storage policies, and container security issues - Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact - Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold - Provide structured, expert feedback that directly shapes how AI understands cloud security Who You Are - 2+ years of hands-on experience working with cloud environments in production - Solid familiarity with cloud IAM, networking, storage, and container security concepts - Experience recognizing and reasoning about real-world misconfigurations and security incidents - Ability to clearly articulate blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously Nice to Have - Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center, Defender for Cloud) - Background in incident response, penetration testing, or cloud architecture - Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as CIS, NIST, or SOC 2 - Prior experience working on AI, data labeling, or evaluation projects Why Join Us - Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule - Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration - Your real-world expertise creates a lasting impact on how AI understands security - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
