Incident Response Analyst

Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of cybersecurity intelligence tools — and we need experienced security professionals to help make it happen. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll work with realistic security incident data to ensure AI-driven analysis reflects how elite response teams actually operate in the field.

Your hands-on expertise in SOC operations and digital investigations will directly shape how AI understands, interprets, and responds to real-world threats.
