Cloud Security Analyst

Miami

**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 practitioners who truly understand how cloud environments fail in the real world. If you've spent time in the trenches of AWS, GCP, or Azure and know what a misconfigured IAM policy or exposed storage bucket looks like in production, this role was built for you. Your expertise will directly shape how AI systems reason about cloud security --- making frontier AI more accurate, reliable, and grounded in reality. * Organization: Alignerr * Type: Hourly Contract * Commitment: 10--40 hours/week * Location: Fully Remote **What You'll Do** * Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks, failure patterns, and real-world attack surfaces * Review and evaluate IAM configurations, networking setups, storage policies, and container security issues * Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact and blast radius * Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold in production * Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI models think like experienced cloud security professionals **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 across one or more major cloud platforms * You've seen real-world misconfigurations and security incidents --- and know how to reason about their downstream impact * Able to clearly articulate blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact in writing * Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async, remote environment **Nice to Have** * Experience with cloud security tooling (e.g., Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud, AWS Security Hub) * Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or cloud incident response * Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, MITRE ATT\&CK for Cloud, or CSA CCM * Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects **Why Join Us** * Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs * Fully remote and async --- work on your schedule, from anywhere * Freelance perks: full autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration * Meaningful work that makes AI safer and more capable in a critical domain * Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
