About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI systems that reason through real-world security incidents. As a Security Operations Analyst, your hands-on SOC experience will directly shape how AI detects, investigates, and responds to threats — making a meaningful impact on the future of cybersecurity.

• Evaluate AI-generated outputs to ensure they reflect how analysts actually work in practice
• Distinguish true security signals from noise and false positives across a range of simulated environments
• Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI systems think and respond like seasoned analysts

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in SOC, incident response, or security operations
• Familiar with SIEM platforms, alert triage processes, and security investigation workflows
