Incident Response Analyst

Alignerr
Boston, MA Contractor
POSTED ON 4/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/21/2026
Incident Response 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 an Incident Response Analyst, you'll bring your real-world SOC and IR experience to bear on a genuinely novel challenge: teaching AI how skilled analysts think, investigate, and respond.

Your expertise will directly shape how AI interprets security events, correlates alerts, and supports digital investigations — making AI-driven security tools smarter, faster, and more accurate for teams everywhere.

  • 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 AI outputs for accuracy in determining impact, root cause, and appropriate remediation
  • Review detection rules, alerting pipelines, and investigative playbooks for real-world validity
  • Identify gaps where AI reasoning diverges from how experienced response teams actually operate
  • Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves frontier AI security models
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • 2 years of hands-on experience in SOC, incident response, or security operations
  • Comfortable working with SIEM platforms, alert queues, and investigation tooling
  • Strong ability to triage signals — separating meaningful threats from background noise
  • Clear written communication skills when documenting findings and recommendations
  • Self-motivated and reliable when working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with threat hunting, digital forensics, or malware analysis
  • Familiarity with common frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK or NIST IR
  • Background in cloud security, endpoint detection, or network forensics
  • Prior involvement in AI evaluation, red teaming, or security research

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI systems alongside top security and research teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
  • Apply your security expertise to a domain that's actively shaping the future of AI
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
