Cloud Security Analyst
About this role
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
