About the Role
Your experience in the SOC is more valuable than ever — and not just for stopping attacks. We're looking for seasoned incident response professionals to help train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems built for cybersecurity. Your real-world knowledge will directly influence how AI understands, investigates, and responds to security threats.
At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build cutting-edge AI models. This is your opportunity to move beyond day-to-day triage and leave a lasting mark on how AI handles security operations at scale.

- Assess root cause, blast radius, and appropriate remediation paths for simulated incidents
- Review and validate detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks
- Identify gaps where AI analysis diverges from how real response teams operate
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI security reasoning
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
