Cloud Security Analyst
Summary: The Cloud Security Analyst role involves collaborating with leading AI research teams to enhance AI models by analyzing real-world cloud security scenarios. The position requires experienced practitioners to evaluate cloud environments and provide expert feedback to improve AI security reasoning. This role offers flexibility in hours and location, allowing for independent work on impactful projects. Candidates should have a solid background in cloud security across major platforms and be able to communicate effectively about risks and failures.
Key Responsibilities:
- Analyze real-world cloud security scenarios across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify risks and failure patterns
- 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 accurately reflects how cloud incidents actually unfold
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI security capabilities
Key Skills:
- 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
- Familiar with real-world misconfigurations, incident patterns, and how breaches propagate
- Able to think clearly and communicate precisely about blast radius, risk exposure, and business impact
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on async, task-based assignments
- Experience with cloud security tools, frameworks, or certifications (e.g., AWS Security Specialty, CCSP, CKS) is a plus
- Background in incident response, penetration testing, or cloud architecture review is a plus
- Familiarity with AI evaluation or data annotation workflows is a plus
