Security Operations Analyst

Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems. As a Security Operations Analyst, you'll bring your real-world SOC experience to bear on a genuinely novel challenge: teaching AI how expert analysts think, triage, and respond to threats.

This isn't a traditional security role — it's a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of cybersecurity and frontier AI, helping shape how AI systems reason through incidents, alerts, and investigations.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Analyze realistic SOC scenarios — incidents, alerts, and investigation workflows — and document expert reasoning
• Classify alert severity, determine root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
• Review and evaluate AI-generated outputs to ensure they reflect how experienced analysts actually work
• Identify gaps in AI reasoning — false positives, missed signals, or flawed triage logic
• Provide structured, detailed feedback that helps AI systems mirror real-world security operations
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
• Familiar with SIEM platforms, alert triage workflows, and investigation methodologies
• Skilled at separating genuine threats from noise — you know what a real signal looks like
• Detail-oriented with strong written communication skills
• Able to articulate your analytical reasoning clearly and systematically
• No prior AI experience required — your security expertise is what matters

Nice to Have

• Experience with threat hunting, malware analysis, or digital forensics
• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or Kill Chain
• Exposure to cloud security, EDR platforms, or network detection tools
• Background in writing detection rules, playbooks, or runbooks
