Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of intelligent security systems — and we need experienced SOC analysts to make it happen. Your hands‑on knowledge of threat detection, alert triage, and incident response will directly shape how AI reasons through real‑world security scenarios. This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the day‑to‑day grind of the SOC and contribute to something bigger: teaching AI to think like a seasoned security analyst.
