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 practitioners who truly understand how cloud environments fail in the real world.

As a Cloud Security Analyst, you'll analyze real-world cloud security scenarios, identify failure patterns, and help validate AI-generated security reasoning. Your hands-on experience with production cloud environments is exactly what's needed to make frontier AI more accurate and trustworthy.

• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Analyze cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks and failure patterns
• Review and assess IAM, networking, storage, and container security issues
• Classify security gaps, misconfigurations, and cloud-related failures based on real-world impact
• Validate and improve AI-generated security reasoning so it accurately reflects how cloud incidents unfold
• Provide structured expert feedback that directly shapes the quality of AI security knowledge

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 concepts
