Incident Response Analyst
Job Description
About The Role
We're partnering with world-leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems — and we need experienced incident responders to make it happen.
Your real-world knowledge of threats, alerts, and investigations will directly shape how AI understands and responds to security incidents. This isn't a traditional SOC role — it's an opportunity to influence the future of AI-driven security operations from wherever you work best.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
- Analyze realistic security events, alerts, and incident cases to evaluate AI-generated responses
- Assess impact, root cause, and appropriate remediation paths for simulated and real-world scenarios
- Review and critique AI-generated detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks
- Verify that AI-driven incident analysis accurately reflects how real security teams operate
- Provide structured, expert feedback to help AI models reason like a seasoned responder
- 2+ years of experience in SOC, incident response, or security operations
- Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms, alert queues, and investigation tooling
- Strong ability to triage effectively — separating signal from noise with confidence
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments
- Clear written communication skills to articulate reasoning and findings
- Experience with threat hunting, digital forensics, or malware analysis
- Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or SANS
- Background in cloud security or endpoint detection and response (EDR)
- Prior involvement in red team / blue team exercises
- Work directly on frontier AI systems being developed with top-tier research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
- Leverage your security expertise in a high-impact, forward-looking domain
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
