About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems — and we need experienced incident responders to help get it right. Your hands-on knowledge of real-world security operations will directly shape how AI understands, investigates, and responds to modern cyber threats.
This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the SOC and influence the future of AI-driven security — on your own schedule, from anywhere.
- 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 investigations
- Assess AI outputs for accuracy in root cause analysis, impact determination, and remediation guidance
- Review and validate detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks
- Identify gaps where AI responses diverge from how real response teams operate
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI reasoning in security contexts
- Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in SOC operations, incident response, or security engineering
- Comfortable working across SIEM platforms, alert queues, and investigation tooling
- Skilled at triaging alerts and distinguishing meaningful threats from noise
- Able to clearly articulate the reasoning behind incident decisions in writing
- Detail-oriented with a strong sense of how real-world response workflows operate
Nice to Have
- Experience with threat hunting, digital forensics, or red/blue team operations
- Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or SANS IR methodology
- Exposure to cloud-native security environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Prior experience evaluating or working alongside AI-driven security tools
Why Join Us
- Work on frontier AI projects with top-tier research labs and make a direct impact
- Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
- Apply your security expertise in a high-impact, intellectually stimulating new context
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects evolve
