Security Operations Analyst

Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of intelligent security systems. As a Security Operations Analyst, your real-world expertise will directly shape how AI understands, reasons through, and responds to cybersecurity threats — making SOC AI smarter, more accurate, and more aligned with how analysts actually work.

If you've spent time in a SOC triaging alerts, investigating incidents, or hunting threats, this is a rare opportunity to put that experience to work on something bigger.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote

What You'll Do

• Analyze realistic SOC scenarios — alerts, incidents, and investigations — and evaluate how AI systems respond to them
• Classify severity levels, identify root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
• Review detection logic and investigation workflows for accuracy and real-world relevance
• Validate AI outputs to ensure they reflect how experienced security analysts actually think and operate
• Provide structured, expert feedback that helps frontier AI models reason through threats more effectively

Who You Are
