About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build and evaluate the next generation of AI systems for cybersecurity. As a Security Operations Analyst, your real-world SOC expertise will directly shape how AI detects, investigates, and responds to threats — making enterprise security AI smarter, faster, and more reliable.
This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the day-to-day alert queue and contribute to something bigger: teaching AI to think like an experienced security analyst.
