We're partnering with leading AI research teams to build and validate AI systems that understand cybersecurity — and we need real security specialists to make it happen. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll bring your frontline experience to bear on one of the most impactful challenges in AI: teaching systems to think like a skilled security analyst.
Your work will directly shape how next-generation AI tools interpret security events, correlate alerts, and support digital investigations at scale.
