Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more accurate AI systems for cybersecurity. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll apply your hands-on security operations experience to evaluate and improve AI models designed to detect threats, correlate alerts, and support digital investigations.

Your expertise doesn't just stay in the SOC — it directly shapes how AI understands and responds to real-world security events.
