About the Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build and evaluate next-generation AI systems designed for real-world security operations. As a Security Operations Analyst, your hands-on SOC expertise will directly shape how AI models detect, triage, and respond to threats — making them smarter, faster, and more accurate for the analysts who rely on them.
This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the day-to-day grind and leave a lasting mark on the future of AI-powered cybersecurity.
