What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cloud Security Analyst position at Alignerr?
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.
