Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

What if your hard-won knowledge of cloud misconfigurations, IAM failures, and production incidents could help train the next generation of AI security systems?

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Right now, we're working on datasets focused on cloud security — and we need practitioners who understand how cloud environments actually fail in the real world, not just in theory.

This is a remote, flexible contract role where your expertise directly shapes how AI reasons about cloud security risks.

• 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 IAM policies, networking configurations, storage settings, and container security issues
• Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact and blast radius
• Evaluate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
• Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI systems reason more accurately about cloud threats

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 providers
• Experience encountering or responding to real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
• Ability to reason clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
• Strong written communication skills — you can explain complex security concepts clearly

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 PCI-DSS
• Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects

Why Join Us

• Work on frontier AI systems alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and async — work on your schedule, wherever you are
• Freelance perks: autonomy, flexibility, and collaboration with a global expert community
• Your real-world expertise makes a direct and lasting impact on how AI understands security
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
