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 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

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
