About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of intelligent security systems — and we need experienced SOC professionals to make it happen. Your hands-on knowledge of real-world threat detection, alert triage, and incident response will directly shape how AI reasons through security scenarios. This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of cybersecurity and frontier AI — without leaving your home.

What You'll Do

  • Review detection logic and investigation workflows for accuracy and real-world relevance
  • Validate AI-generated security outputs to ensure they reflect how experienced analysts actually work
  • Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI model performance in security contexts

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of experience in SOC, incident response, or security operations roles
  • Familiar with SIEM platforms, alert triage processes, and investigation workflows
