Job description

Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build AI systems that reason through real-world security incidents — and we need experienced SOC analysts to make it happen.

Your expertise in threat detection, alert triage, and incident response will directly shape how next-generation AI understands and navigates modern security operations. This is a rare opportunity to influence frontier AI from the inside, without leaving your area of expertise.

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

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic SOC scenarios — incidents, alerts, and investigation workflows — to evaluate how AI systems reason through them
  • Classify alert severity, determine root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
  • Review AI-generated detection logic and investigation outputs for accuracy and real-world alignment
  • Validate that AI responses reflect how skilled analysts actually detect, triage, and respond to threats
  • Provide structured feedback that directly improves AI model performance in security contexts
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in SOC, incident response, or security operations roles
  • Solid familiarity with SIEM platforms, alert triage processes, and investigation workflows
  • Sharp instinct for separating true security signals from noise and false positives
  • Able to articulate your reasoning clearly in written form
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with threat hunting, malware analysis, or digital forensics
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or the Cyber Kill Chain
  • Background working across multiple SIEM or SOAR platforms
  • Interest in AI systems and how they're trained and evaluated

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on cutting-edge AI projects with top-tier research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Make a meaningful impact on how AI handles real-world cybersecurity challenges
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
