Security Operations Analyst

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. If you've spent time in a SOC, responded to incidents, or triaged alerts for a living, this is your opportunity to bring that expertise to the cutting edge of AI development.
