About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of intelligent security systems. As a Security Operations Analyst, you'll bring your real-world SOC experience to bear on a cutting-edge challenge: teaching AI how to think like a skilled analyst.
You'll work through realistic incident scenarios, evaluate AI-generated security reasoning, and ensure outputs reflect how threats are actually detected, triaged, and resolved in modern environments. Your expertise directly shapes how AI behaves in the security operations context — this is meaningful, high-impact work.
