About The Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of cybersecurity AI — and we need real security professionals to make it credible. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll work with realistic incident data, security alerts, and investigation scenarios to ensure AI-driven analysis reflects how actual response teams think and operate. This is a unique chance to directly influence how AI handles threat detection, incident triage, and digital investigations — work that matters well beyond any single engagement.
