POSTED ON 6/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/7/2026
Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research teams to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need cloud security practitioners who understand how cloud environments actually fail.

This is your opportunity to put your real-world experience to work on something that matters: shaping how frontier AI understands cloud security risks, misconfigurations, and incident patterns across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week (flexible)

What You'll Do

  • Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks, vulnerabilities, and failure patterns
  • Review and evaluate IAM, networking, storage, and container security issues in realistic cloud environments
  • Classify security gaps and misconfigurations based on real-world impact and blast radius
  • Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents unfold in practice
  • Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves the quality of AI security systems

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, security incidents, and their downstream effects
  • Able to clearly reason about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on async, task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center, Azure Defender)
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or cloud incident response
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud or CIS Benchmarks
  • Certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, or similar

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
  • Contribute to AI that is more accurate and trustworthy in one of the most critical domains in tech
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
