Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst

We partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. Right now, we're building datasets and evaluations focused on cloud security and modern infrastructure — and we need practitioners who truly understand how cloud environments fail in the real world.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your hands-on cloud security knowledge to directly influence how the next generation of AI reasons about security incidents, misconfigurations, and risk.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Hourly Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Analyze real-world cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks and failure patterns
• Review and assess IAM, networking, storage, 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
• Help ensure AI systems reason correctly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact

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 concepts
• Familiarity with real-world misconfigurations and security incidents across major cloud providers
• Able to reason clearly and precisely about security risk, blast radius, and downstream business impact
• Strong written communication skills for structured feedback and documentation

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center, Microsoft Defender for Cloud)
• Background in penetration testing, threat modeling, or incident response
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, or NIST
• Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects
