About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build AI systems that can reason through real-world security incidents, alerts, and investigations. As a Security Operations Analyst, your hands-on SOC expertise will directly shape how AI understands and responds to cybersecurity threats — making future security tools smarter, faster, and more accurate.
This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the day-to-day grind of traditional security work and contribute to something bigger: the next generation of AI-powered security operations.
- 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 is happening and why it matters
- Classify alert severity, identify root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
- Review and evaluate detection logic, triage workflows, and investigation procedures
- Validate AI-generated outputs to ensure they reflect how real security analysts think and operate
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI reasoning on security tasks
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in SOC, incident response, or security operations roles
