Incident Response Analyst (AI Training) About The Role We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems --- and we need real incident responders to make it happen. Your hands-on experience in SOC environments, alert triage, and digital investigations will directly shape how AI understands and responds to modern security threats.
This isn't a traditional IR role. You'll be working behind the scenes to ensure AI-driven security analysis actually reflects how skilled analysts think and operate --- making a meaningful impact on the future of cybersecurity AI.
