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 systems. As a Security Operations Analyst, your real-world SOC expertise will directly shape how AI models detect, triage, and respond to threats — making enterprise AI smarter and safer for everyone.

This is a unique opportunity to move beyond day-to-day alert queues and apply your analyst instincts to frontier AI development, on your own schedule.

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

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic SOC scenarios — incidents, alerts, and investigations — to assess what's happening and why it matters
  • Classify severity levels, determine root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
  • Review detection logic and investigation workflows for accuracy and real-world applicability
  • Evaluate AI-generated security outputs and validate they reflect how analysts actually work in practice
  • Provide structured feedback that directly improves AI reasoning in security contexts
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of experience in SOC, incident response, or security operations
  • Solid familiarity with SIEM platforms, alert triage, and investigation workflows
  • Strong ability to distinguish true positives from noise and false positives
  • Detail-oriented with clear written communication skills
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with threat hunting, threat intelligence, or digital forensics
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or similar
  • Background in evaluating or documenting security processes and procedures

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on cutting-edge AI systems with top security and AI research teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and how much you want
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Apply your hard-earned security expertise in a high-impact, novel way
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
