About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems — and we need real incident responders to make it happen.
Your hands-on experience in SOC environments, alert triage, and digital investigations is exactly what's needed to ensure AI-driven security tools reflect how real analysts think and operate. This isn't a traditional IR role — it's an opportunity to directly influence how AI understands and responds to cyber threats.
