Incident Response Analyst - #651958

Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

Your experience in the SOC is more valuable than ever — and not just for stopping attacks. We're looking for seasoned incident response professionals to help train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems built for cybersecurity. Your real-world knowledge will directly influence how AI understands, investigates, and responds to security threats.

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams and labs to build cutting-edge AI models. This is your opportunity to move beyond day-to-day triage and leave a lasting mark on how AI handles security operations at scale.

• 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, blast radius, and appropriate remediation paths for simulated incidents
• Review and validate detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks
• Identify gaps where AI analysis diverges from how real response teams operate
• Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI security reasoning
• Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
  
  

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
• Comfortable working across SIEM platforms, alert queues, and investigation tooling
