Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research teams to build smarter, safer AI systems — 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 you know what a misconfigured IAM policy or an exposed storage bucket actually means for a business, this role was built for you. Your expertise will directly shape how AI reasons about cloud security — making these systems more accurate, more realistic, and more useful.

What You'll Do

• Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks and realistic failure patterns
• Review IAM configurations, network architectures, storage permissions, and container security setups
• Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud incidents based on real-world impact and blast radius
• Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
• Help build datasets and evaluations that push the frontier of AI security capabilities

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 major providers
• Familiar with real-world misconfigurations and how they escalate into incidents
• Able to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud, AWS Security Hub)
• Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or incident response
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, or NIST
• Security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, CISSP, etc.)

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Meaningful work that improves how AI understands real-world security
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
