Cloud Security Analyst

Chicago

**Cloud Security Analyst (AI Training)** **About The Role** We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate frontier AI models --- and we need cloud security practitioners who know how cloud environments *actually* fail. This is a unique opportunity to apply your real-world security expertise to one of the most impactful fields in tech: AI training. You won't be writing policies or filing tickets --- you'll be shaping how AI systems reason about cloud security risks, misconfigurations, and incidents. * 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 realistic risks and failure patterns * Review IAM policies, networking configurations, storage controls, and container security for gaps and misconfigurations * Classify security failures based on real-world blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact * Evaluate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold * Provide structured expert feedback that directly improves AI model quality and accuracy **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 * Experience identifying or responding to real-world misconfigurations and security incidents * Able to reason clearly about blast radius, attack surface, and downstream business impact * Detail-oriented with clear written communication skills * Comfortable working independently and asynchronously **Nice to Have** * Experience with cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools * Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or incident response * Familiarity with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, or SOC 2 * Prior work on AI or data annotation projects **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 * Contribute to work that meaningfully improves how AI understands security * Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
