About the Role

We're partnering with world-leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems — and we need experienced incident responders to make it happen. Your real-world knowledge of threats, alerts, and investigations will directly shape how AI understands and responds to security incidents. This isn't a traditional SOC role — it's an opportunity to influence the future of AI-driven security operations from wherever you work best.
