Job description

Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

We're partnering with world-leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI-powered security tools. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll bring your real-world SOC experience to help train and evaluate AI systems designed to detect threats, correlate alerts, and support digital investigations — the way a seasoned analyst actually would.

Your expertise directly shapes how AI understands and responds to security incidents at scale. This is a rare opportunity to influence the future of cybersecurity AI from the comfort of your own setup.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic security events, alerts, and incident cases to evaluate AI-generated responses
  • Assess AI outputs for accuracy in determining impact, root cause, and appropriate remediation steps
  • Review detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks for real-world validity
  • Provide structured feedback that ensures AI-driven analysis reflects how modern response teams actually operate
  • Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments — on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
  • Familiar with SIEM platforms, alert queues, and investigation tooling
  • Skilled at triaging alerts and separating genuine threats from noise
  • Able to clearly articulate analytical reasoning in written form
  • Detail-oriented and comfortable working independently

Nice to Have

  • Experience writing or tuning detection rules and playbooks
  • Familiarity with threat intelligence frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK)
  • Background in digital forensics or threat hunting
  • Prior exposure to AI evaluation or annotation workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI projects with top-tier research labs and teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with global security professionals
  • Make a real impact on how AI handles cybersecurity challenges worldwide
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
