About the Role
Your real-world security experience is exactly what's needed to build the next generation of AI-powered threat detection. At Alignerr, we partner with leading AI research labs to develop systems that can reason through security incidents the way expert analysts do — and we need seasoned practitioners to make that happen.
If you've spent time in a SOC, triaging alerts, investigating incidents, and hunting threats, this is your opportunity to directly shape how AI understands and responds to modern cyber threats.
