Job description

Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI systems that reason through real-world security incidents. As a Security Operations Analyst, your hands-on SOC experience will directly shape how AI detects, investigates, and responds to threats — making enterprise AI smarter and more aligned with how analysts actually work.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your cybersecurity expertise beyond the traditional SOC environment and contribute to frontier AI development.

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

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic SOC scenarios — alerts, incidents, and investigations — to evaluate AI-generated responses
  • Classify threat severity, identify root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
  • Review and assess detection logic, triage workflows, and investigation steps for accuracy
  • Validate AI outputs against real-world analyst behavior and industry best practices
  • Provide structured feedback that directly improves how AI systems handle security events
  • Help distinguish true threat signals from noise and false positives in AI-generated analysis

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
  • Solid familiarity with SIEM platforms, alert triage, and investigation workflows
  • Strong instincts for separating genuine threats from false positives and background noise
  • Able to communicate analytical reasoning clearly in writing
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments
  • No prior AI experience required — your security expertise is what matters

Nice to Have

  • Experience with threat hunting, digital forensics, or malware analysis
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or similar
  • Exposure to cloud security environments or EDR/XDR platforms
  • Background in writing detection rules or playbooks

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on cutting-edge AI systems being developed with top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, as much or as little as you want
  • Freelance autonomy: no meetings, no micromanagement, task-based independence
  • Apply your security expertise in a high-impact, forward-looking way
  • Collaborate with a global community of domain experts and AI researchers
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects grow
