Job description

Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of intelligent security tools — and we need experienced SOC professionals to help get it right. Your hands-on knowledge of real-world threat detection, triage, and incident response will directly shape how AI reasons through security scenarios.

This isn't a traditional analyst role. You'll work on the cutting edge of AI development, reviewing and validating how AI systems interpret alerts, investigate incidents, and recommend responses — ensuring outputs reflect how skilled analysts actually operate in the field.

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

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic SOC incident and alert scenarios — assessing what's happening, why it matters, and what should be done
  • Classify alert severity, identify root causes, and evaluate recommended response actions
  • Review AI-generated investigation workflows and detection logic for accuracy and real-world alignment
  • Validate AI outputs against how experienced analysts actually think and operate
  • Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI model performance in security contexts

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
  • Solid working knowledge of SIEM platforms, alert triage, and investigation methodologies
  • Skilled at separating genuine security signals from noise and false positives
  • Detail-oriented, methodical, and comfortable working independently
  • Clear written communicator who can explain security decisions and reasoning

Nice to Have

  • Experience with threat hunting, malware analysis, or digital forensics
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or similar
  • Background working across diverse environments (cloud, on-prem, hybrid)
  • Prior involvement in AI or machine learning projects

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems being developed with top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
  • Put your hard-earned security expertise to use in a high-impact, novel way
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
