About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of intelligent security systems — and we need experienced SOC analysts to make it happen. Your hands-on knowledge of threat detection, alert triage, and incident response will directly shape how AI reasons through real-world security scenarios.
This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the day-to-day grind of the SOC and contribute to something bigger: teaching AI to think like a seasoned security analyst.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze realistic SOC scenarios — alerts, incidents, and investigations — and document how you'd respond
- Classify threat severity, identify root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
- Review and evaluate AI-generated security analysis for accuracy and real-world alignment
- Validate detection logic and investigation workflows against industry best practices
- Provide structured feedback that helps AI systems reason the way experienced analysts actually do
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
