Job description

Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

Alignerr partners with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Right now, we're looking for experienced cloud security practitioners to help us train AI systems that reason accurately about real-world cloud threats, misconfigurations, and incidents.

This isn't a typical security role. You'll be applying your hard-won production experience to shape how AI understands cloud security — helping it think the way a seasoned practitioner actually does.

  • 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 permissions, and container security setups
  • Classify security gaps and vulnerabilities based on real-world impact, blast radius, and business risk
  • Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning to ensure it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
  • Provide structured expert feedback that directly improves AI security capabilities

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

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud security tools, CSPM platforms, or SIEM/SOAR systems
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or incident response
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, or NIST
  • Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems being developed with top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Make a meaningful impact by helping AI reason correctly about cloud security
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
