About the Role
We're looking for experienced security operations professionals to help build and evaluate the next generation of AI systems designed for modern SOC environments. Your real-world expertise in threat detection, alert triage, and incident response will directly shape how AI reasons through security scenarios — making these systems smarter, faster, and more accurate.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of cybersecurity and frontier AI, contributing to systems that will be used by security teams worldwide.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze realistic SOC incident and alert scenarios to determine what's happening, why it matters, and what the appropriate response should be
- Classify alert severity, identify root causes, and recommend remediation or escalation paths
- Review and evaluate detection logic, investigation workflows, and triage methodologies
- Validate AI-generated security outputs to ensure they reflect how real analysts think and operate
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI reasoning in security contexts
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

- Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or PICERL
- Exposure to cloud security environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Background in red team or blue team operations
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading AI research labs and teams
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, on your own terms
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Make a meaningful impact on how AI understands and responds to real cybersecurity threats
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
