Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

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.

  : 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
