Job description

Network & Infrastructure Security Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-aware AI systems — and we need practitioners who've seen real threats up close.

As a Network & Infrastructure Security Analyst, you'll bring your hands-on experience to one of the most impactful frontiers in tech: training AI to understand how enterprise security actually works. Your knowledge of firewalls, EDR, SIEMs, and real-world incident response will directly shape how AI models reason about threats, misconfigurations, and control failures.

This is a flexible, remote contract role. Work on your schedule, on your terms.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze network, endpoint, and email security scenarios drawn from modern enterprise environments
• Review firewall, EDR, and infrastructure security cases to determine what went wrong and why
• Classify incidents, misconfigurations, and control failures based on real operational context
• Create, label, and validate security datasets used to train and evaluate cutting-edge AI systems
• Clearly articulate root causes, attacker behavior, and business impact in structured formats

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in network, infrastructure, or endpoint security roles
• Solid familiarity with firewalls, EDR platforms, email security, IAM, SIEMs, and enterprise tooling
• Strong understanding of how real organizations deploy and operate security controls
• Ability to communicate complex security issues clearly — in writing, for technical and non-technical audiences
• Detail-oriented, self-directed, and comfortable working asynchronously

Nice to Have

• Experience with incident response, threat hunting, or red/blue team operations
• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or CIS Controls
• Background in cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Prior experience with AI, data labeling, or evaluation workflows

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI projects with top-tier research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — choose your own hours and workload
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Meaningful work that puts your security expertise at the cutting edge of AI development
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
