Job description

Network & Infrastructure Security Analyst (AI Training)

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer security intelligence — and we need practitioners who've lived it in the real world.

As a Network & Infrastructure Security Analyst, you'll analyze real-world enterprise security scenarios — firewall events, EDR alerts, email threats, and infrastructure misconfigurations — and use your hands-on experience to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI systems. Your expertise directly shapes how AI understands, reasons about, and responds to cybersecurity threats.

This is a remote, flexible contract role ideal for experienced security professionals looking to contribute to frontier AI while working on their own schedule.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze network, endpoint, and email security scenarios across modern enterprise environments
• Review firewall, EDR, SIEM, and infrastructure security cases to determine what went wrong and why
• Classify incidents, misconfigurations, and control failures based on realistic operational data
• Create, label, and validate security training and evaluation datasets used to improve AI systems
• Clearly articulate root causes, attacker techniques, and business impact in structured formats
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in network, infrastructure, or endpoint security roles
• Familiar with enterprise security tooling: firewalls, EDR platforms, email security gateways, IAM, and SIEMs
• Strong understanding of how real organizations deploy, operate, and fail at security controls
• Able to communicate complex security issues clearly — not just identify them, but explain them
• Detail-oriented with a systematic approach to analysis
• Self-motivated and comfortable working remotely without close supervision

Nice to Have

• Experience with threat hunting, incident response, or security operations
• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or CIS Controls
• Background in red team, blue team, or purple team activities
• Prior experience contributing to AI, data labeling, or security research projects

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with top-tier research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and meaningful contribution to AI safety
• Put your real-world security knowledge to use in a uniquely impactful way
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
