Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI-powered security tools — and we need experienced security professionals to make it happen. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll apply your hands-on SOC and IR expertise to evaluate, challenge, and improve AI systems designed to detect threats, correlate alerts, and support digital investigations.

This is a rare opportunity to influence how AI understands and responds to real-world security incidents — working on your own schedule, fully remote.
