Job description

Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

We’re partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems — and we need real incident responders to make it happen. Your hands‑on experience in SOC environments, alert triage, and digital investigations will directly shape how AI understands and responds to modern security threats. This isn’t a traditional IR role. You’ll be working behind the scenes to ensure AI‑driven security analysis actually reflects how skilled analysts think and operate — making a meaningful impact on the future of cybersecurity AI.

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

What You’ll Do

• Analyze realistic security events, alerts, and incident cases to evaluate AI-generated responses
• Assess impact, root cause, and appropriate remediation steps across a range of scenarios
• Review detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks for accuracy and completeness
• Verify that AI-generated incident analysis reflects real‑world SOC operations and analyst judgment
• Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI model performance in security contexts

Who You Are

• 2+ years of experience in SOC operations, incident response, or security engineering
• Comfortable working with SIEM platforms, alert queues, and investigation tooling
• Skilled at separating signal from noise — you know what a real threat looks like
• Able to clearly articulate your reasoning and document findings in structured formats
• Self‑directed and reliable, with the ability to work independently on task‑based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with threat hunting, digital forensics, or malware analysis
• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK or NIST IR lifecycle
• Background evaluating or tuning detection rules and alerting logic
• Prior involvement with AI or machine learning projects in a security context

Why Join Us

• Work on frontier AI systems alongside top-tier research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Contribute to meaningful work that makes AI safer and more effective in real security environments
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
