Job description

Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build and evaluate next-generation AI systems designed for real-world security operations. As a Security Operations Analyst, your hands-on SOC expertise will directly shape how AI models detect, triage, and respond to threats — making them smarter, faster, and more accurate for the analysts who rely on them.

This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the day-to-day grind and leave a lasting mark on the future of AI-powered cybersecurity.

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

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic SOC incident and alert scenarios to assess what's happening and why it matters
  • Classify alert severity, determine root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
  • Review detection logic, investigation workflows, and triage methodologies
  • Evaluate AI-generated outputs to ensure they reflect how real analysts work in practice
  • Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI reason through security incidents more effectively
  • Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments — on your schedule

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
  • Solid familiarity with SIEM platforms, alert triage processes, and investigation workflows
  • Strong ability to distinguish genuine security signals from noise and false positives
  • Analytical mindset with clear, structured written communication
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience with threat hunting, malware analysis, or digital forensics
  • Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK or the Cyber Kill Chain
  • Prior exposure to AI tools, security automation, or SOAR platforms
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Security+, CySA+, GCIH, CEH)

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects with top-tier research labs and teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Apply your real-world security expertise to a problem that matters at scale
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
