Cloud Security Analyst

About The Role

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.

Organization: Alignerr Type: Hourly Contract Location: Remote Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks, misconfigurations, and failure patterns
• Review and evaluate IAM policies, networking configurations, storage access controls, and container security issues
• Classify security gaps and real-world cloud failures based on their business impact and blast radius
• Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
• Provide structured, expert feedback that directly shapes how AI understands cloud security

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 concepts
• Experience identifying and reasoning through real-world misconfigurations and security incidents
• Able to think clearly about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience in cloud security engineering, DevSecOps, or penetration testing
• Familiarity with cloud security frameworks (CIS Benchmarks, CSPM tools, etc.)
• Background in incident response or cloud threat modeling
• Security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, etc.)

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
• Make a tangible impact on how AI reasons about real-world cloud security
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
