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 security AI smarter and more aligned with how analysts actually work.
This is a unique opportunity to go beyond the day-to-day grind of traditional security work and contribute to something that will influence the future of cybersecurity.

- Classify severity levels, determine root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
- Review and evaluate AI-generated detection logic and investigation outputs for accuracy and real-world alignment
- Validate AI responses against how experienced analysts actually triage and respond to threats
- Distinguish genuine security signals from noise and false positives to help AI learn the difference
- Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI model quality
