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 cloud security practitioners who understand how real cloud environments fail.
This isn't a theoretical exercise. You'll be working with real-world cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure, helping evaluate and improve AI systems that reason about infrastructure risk. If you've dealt with IAM misconfigurations, exposed storage buckets, or container escape scenarios in production, your experience is exactly what we need.
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 realistic risks and failure patterns
Review IAM policies, networking configurations, storage permissions, and container security setups
Classify misconfigurations, security gaps, and cloud-native vulnerabilities based on real-world impact
Evaluate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it reflects how actual cloud incidents unfold
Assess blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact of identified security failures
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 cloud providers
Familiarity with real-world misconfigurations and how security incidents actually happen in the wild
Able to reason clearly and communicate precisely about risk, exposure, and impact
Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously
Nice to Have
Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center, Defender for Cloud)
Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or cloud incident response
Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud, CIS Benchmarks, or CSA CCM
Certifications such as AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, or similar
