Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

We're partnering with world-leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security intelligence tools. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll apply your real-world SOC and investigation experience to evaluate and improve AI systems designed to detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity threats.

Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands security incidents — making these systems smarter, more accurate, and better aligned with how real response teams operate.

  • 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 outputs
  • Assess root cause, impact, and recommended remediation steps for simulated and real-world scenarios
  • Review detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks for accuracy and completeness
  • Verify that AI-generated incident analysis reflects how experienced security professionals actually work
  • Provide structured, expert feedback to help AI systems improve their threat reasoning and response quality
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in SOC operations, incident response, or security engineering
  • Proficient with SIEM platforms, alert triage workflows, and investigative tooling
  • Skilled at distinguishing meaningful threats from noise across complex alert queues
  • Strong analytical communicator — able to explain your reasoning clearly in writing
  • Self-directed and comfortable working on task-based assignments remotely

Nice to Have

  • Experience with threat hunting, digital forensics, or malware analysis
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or PICERL
  • Prior work evaluating or improving security automation or AI tools

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems used by leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert network
  • Put your security expertise to meaningful use shaping the future of AI-driven defense
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
