At Mindrift, innovation meets opportunity. We believe in using the power of collective intelligence to ethically shape the future of AI.

What We Do

The Mindrift platform connects specialists with AI projects from major tech innovators. Our mission is to unlock the potential of generative AI by tapping into real‑world expertise from across the globe.

About The Role

GenAI models are improving very quickly, and one of our goals is to make them capable of addressing specialized questions and achieving complex reasoning skills. If you join the platform as an AI Tutor in Coding, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate on these projects.

Although every project is unique, you might typically:

Analyze and investigate simulated security alerts and incidents across endpoints, identities, and cloud environments

Conduct proactive threat hunting using KQL or similar query languages to identify hidden vulnerabilities and emerging threats that automated systems may miss

Assess the accuracy and depth of AI-generated security incident reports and threat analyses

Review, validate, and improve the model's understanding of Microsoft Defender products and SOC workflows

Provide expert feedback on AI performance in identifying and classifying cybersecurity threats

How To Get Started

Simply apply to this post, qualify, and get the chance to contribute to projects aligned with your skills, on your own schedule. From creating training prompts to refining model responses, you'll help shape the future of AI while ensuring technology benefits everyone.

Requirements

You hold a Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Information Security / Cybersecurity, Digital Forensics, Network or Computer Engineering or other related fields. Recognized industry certification (e.g., SC-200, AZ-500, CISSP, CEH, GCIH, CSA, CompTIA Security+) is preferred

You have at least 3 years of hands‑on experience in cybersecurity operations, incident response, or threat detection.

You have a proven background working in Security Operations Centers (SOC).

You are able to investigate, triage, and respond to complex security incidents across endpoints, identities, and cloud environments.

You are proficient in Microsoft Defender products (Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps) and familiar with Microsoft Sentinel or similar SIEM tools (Splunk, QRadar, Elastic).

You have strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with experience using KQL (Kusto Query Language) or equivalent log analysis tools for threat detection and investigation.

You have prior experience in threat intelligence, vulnerability management, or incident correlation.

Your level of English is advanced (C1) or above.

You are ready to learn new methods, able to switch between tasks and topics quickly and sometimes work with challenging, complex guidelines.

Our freelance role is fully remote so you just need a laptop, internet connection, time available and enthusiasm to take on a challenge.

Benefits

Get paid for your expertise, with rates that can go up to $90/hour depending on your skills, experience, and project needs

Take part in a part‑time, remote, freelance project that fits around your primary professional or academic commitments

Work on advanced AI projects and gain valuable experience that enhances your portfolio

Influence how future AI models understand and communicate in your field of expertise
