Job description
Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)
About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems — and we need real incident responders to make it happen. Your hands-on experience in SOC environments, alert triage, and digital investigations will directly shape how AI understands and responds to modern security threats.
This isn't a traditional IR role. You'll be working behind the scenes to ensure AI-driven security analysis actually reflects how skilled analysts think and operate — making a meaningful impact on the future of cybersecurity AI.
- 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 impact, root cause, and appropriate remediation steps across a range of scenarios
- Review detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks for accuracy and completeness
- Verify that AI-generated incident analysis reflects real-world SOC operations and analyst judgment
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI model performance in security contexts
Who You Are
- 2+ years of experience in SOC operations, incident response, or security engineering
- Comfortable working with SIEM platforms, alert queues, and investigation tooling
- Skilled at separating signal from noise — you know what a real threat looks like
- Able to clearly articulate your reasoning and document findings in structured formats
- Self-directed and reliable, with the ability to work independently on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with threat hunting, digital forensics, or malware analysis
- Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK or NIST IR lifecycle
- Background evaluating or tuning detection rules and alerting logic
- Prior involvement with AI or machine learning projects in a security context
Why Join Us
- Work on frontier AI systems alongside top-tier research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Contribute to meaningful work that makes AI safer and more effective in real security environments
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
