Cloud Security Analyst

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need cloud security practitioners who know how cloud environments actually fail. This is a unique opportunity to apply your hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, and Azure to directly influence how frontier AI models reason about security. If you've dealt with real-world misconfigurations, IAM blunders, or cloud incidents, your expertise is exactly what we need.
