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 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 enterprise AI smarter and more aligned with how analysts actually work.
This is a unique opportunity to apply your cybersecurity expertise beyond the traditional SOC environment and contribute to frontier AI development.
