Cloud Security Analyst
About this role
About the Role We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need practitioners who understand how cloud environments actually fail. As a Cloud Security Analyst, you'll bring your real-world experience to help train and evaluate frontier AI models on cloud security scenarios. This isn't a theoretical role. We're looking for people who have seen misconfigurations cause incidents, who understand why a single IAM mistake can cascade into a full breach, and who can reason clearly about risk in complex cloud environments. - 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, failure patterns, and real-world impact - Review and evaluate IAM configurations, networking setups, storage policies, and container security issues - Classify security gaps and misconfigurations based on severity, blast radius, and business exposure - Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold - Provide structured, expert feedback that directly shapes how AI understands and responds to cloud security challenges 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 providers - Experience with real-world misconfigurations, security incidents, or cloud vulnerability assessments - Ability to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and the downstream business impact of security failures - Clear communicator who can translate technical findings into structured, actionable feedback Nice to Have - Experience with cloud security frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, CSPM tooling, or cloud-native security services - Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or incident response - Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code security (Terraform, CloudFormation) or Kubernetes security - Prior exposure to AI evaluation or data annotation workflows Why Join Us - Work directly on cutting-edge AI projects with top-tier research labs - Fully remote and flexible — structure your hours around your life - Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration - Make a meaningful impact by ensuring AI systems reason accurately about real security risks - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
