About The Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI-powered security operations tools. As a Security Operations Analyst, you'll bring your real-world SOC experience to help train and evaluate AI systems that reason through security incidents, alerts, and investigations — ensuring they reflect how skilled analysts actually work. This is a unique opportunity to go beyond traditional security work and directly influence how AI understands and responds to cyber threats.

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic SOC scenarios — including incident alerts, detection logs, and investigation workflows — and provide expert-level assessments
  • Classify threat severity, identify root causes, and recommend appropriate response actions
  • Review and evaluate detection logic to ensure it reflects real-world analyst reasoning
  • Validate AI outputs by assessing whether they align with how experienced security professionals triage and respond to threats
  • Provide structured, high-quality feedback that directly improves AI model performance in security contexts

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in a SOC, incident response, or security operations role
  • Proficient with SIEM platforms, alert triage, and security investigation workflows
  • Skilled at distinguishing genuine threats from false positives and background noise
  • Comfortable working independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments
  • Detail-oriented, analytical, and able to communicate findings clearly in writing

Nice to Have

  • Experience with threat hunting, malware analysis, or digital forensics
  • Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or similar
  • Background in red team / blue team exercises
  • Prior exposure to AI evaluation or data annotation workflows
