About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI systems that reason through real-world security incidents. As a Security Operations Analyst, your hands-on SOC experience will directly shape how AI detects, investigates, and responds to threats — making enterprise AI smarter and more aligned with how analysts actually work.
This is a unique opportunity to apply your cybersecurity expertise beyond the traditional SOC environment and contribute to frontier AI development.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze realistic SOC scenarios — alerts, incidents, and investigations — to evaluate AI-generated responses
- Classify threat severity, identify root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
- Review and assess detection logic, triage workflows, and investigation steps for accuracy
- Validate AI outputs against real-world analyst behavior and industry best practices
- Provide structured feedback that directly improves how AI systems handle security events
- Help distinguish true threat signals from noise and false positives in AI-generated analysis
Who You Are
