Chicago, IL Contractor
POSTED ON 5/27/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/26/2026
Threat Intelligence Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're looking for experienced Threat Intelligence Analysts to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI systems. Your real-world knowledge of adversaries, campaigns, and CTI workflows will directly shape how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity threats.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your security expertise in a new domain — contributing to frontier AI research without leaving your home.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Analyze and classify threat reports, adversary campaigns, and attacker behavior patterns
  • Evaluate indicators of compromise, TTPs, and end-to-end attack narratives for accuracy and realism
  • Generate, structure, and validate threat intelligence data used to train and benchmark AI systems
  • Review AI-generated cybersecurity outputs and assess them for factual accuracy, consistency, and quality
  • Help distinguish realistic attacker behavior from noise, fabricated scenarios, or low-quality data

Who You Are

  • 2 years of experience in threat intelligence, SOC analysis, or security research
  • Familiar with MITRE ATT&CK, OSINT collection methodologies, or CTI workflows
  • Able to critically evaluate threat reports and identify inaccuracies or implausible attacker behavior
  • Strong analytical and written communication skills — you can explain complex threats clearly
  • Detail-oriented and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience writing or reviewing threat intelligence reports or actor profiles
  • Familiarity with malware analysis, incident response, or red team operations
  • Background in cybersecurity research or vulnerability analysis

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside world-leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and workload
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
  • Apply deep security expertise to a fast-growing field at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
