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, your real-world SOC experience becomes the foundation for training AI that reasons through threats, alerts, and investigations the way a skilled analyst actually would.
This is a unique opportunity to go beyond the day-to-day grind of traditional security work and directly influence how AI understands and responds to cyber threats — at a frontier level.
