Security Operations Analyst

Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-aware AI systems. As a Security Operations Analyst, your hands-on SOC experience will directly shape how AI understands, reasons through, and responds to real-world cyber threats.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your threat detection and incident response expertise beyond the SOC — and leave a lasting mark on how AI handles security at scale.

• Validate AI outputs to ensure they reflect how experienced analysts actually think and operate
• Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI behavior in security contexts
