Security Operations Analyst
Security Operations Analyst (AI Training) About The Role We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build 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, triages, and responds to threats — making the next generation of security tooling smarter and more effective. If you've spent time in a SOC and know the difference between a real threat and background noise, your expertise is exactly what's needed here.
