Cloud Security Analyst
About this role
About the Role We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI — and we need practitioners who truly understand how cloud environments fail in the real world. If you've spent time in the trenches of AWS, GCP, or Azure and know what a misconfigured IAM policy or exposed storage bucket looks like in production, this role was built for you. Your expertise will directly shape how AI systems reason about cloud security — making frontier AI more accurate, reliable, and grounded in reality. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week - Location: Fully Remote --- What You'll Do - Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks, failure patterns, and real-world attack surfaces - Review and evaluate IAM configurations, networking setups, storage policies, and container security issues - Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact and blast radius - Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold in production - Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI models think like experienced cloud security professionals --- 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 - You've seen real-world misconfigurations and security incidents — and know how to reason about their downstream impact - Able to clearly articulate blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact in writing - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async, remote environment Nice to Have - Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud, AWS Security Hub) - Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or cloud incident response - Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud, or CSA CCM - Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects --- Why Join Us - Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs - Fully remote and async — work on your schedule, from anywhere - Freelance perks: full autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration - Meaningful work that makes AI safer and more capable in a critical domain - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
