Incident Response Analyst

Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI-powered security tools — and we need experienced security professionals to make it happen. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll apply your hands-on SOC and IR expertise to evaluate, challenge, and improve AI systems designed to detect threats, correlate alerts, and support digital investigations.

This is a rare opportunity to influence how AI understands and responds to real-world security incidents — working on your own schedule, fully remote.

• 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 responses
• Assess root cause analysis, impact determinations, and remediation recommendations produced by AI
• Review and critique detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks
• Verify that AI-driven incident analysis reflects how real security operations teams work
• Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI model accuracy and reliability
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments

Who You Are

• 2+ years of experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
