About the Role
We're looking for experienced Security Operations Analysts to help evaluate and improve AI systems designed for modern SOC environments. Your real-world expertise in threat detection, alert triage, and incident response will directly shape how AI reasons through security scenarios - making these systems smarter, faster, and more accurate for analysts everywhere.
