Threat Intelligence Analyst

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more capable AI systems — and we need experienced threat intelligence professionals to make it happen. As a Threat Intelligence Analyst, you'll bring your real-world expertise in adversary tracking, campaign analysis, and CTI workflows to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your knowledge of how threats actually behave is exactly what's needed to make AI systems more accurate, reliable, and security-aware.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — work on your schedule, on projects that matter.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze and classify real-world threat reports, adversary campaigns, and attacker behavior
• Evaluate indicators of compromise (IOCs), 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 threat intelligence outputs and assess them for accuracy, consistency, and credibility
• Apply your expertise to distinguish genuine attacker behavior from noise, fabricated data, or AI hallucinations

Who You Are

• 2+ years of experience in threat intelligence, SOC analysis, or a related security role
• Familiar with MITRE ATT&CK, OSINT collection methodologies, or CTI production workflows
• Able to critically evaluate threat reports and identify what's real, what's plausible, and what's fiction

• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience producing finished intelligence reports or threat briefings
• Familiarity with threat actor groups, malware families, or sector-specific threat landscapes
• Background in red teaming, incident response, or digital forensics
• Prior experience working with AI or data annotation platforms
