Job description
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.

- 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
