Incident Response Analyst

Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)About The Role We're partnering with world-leading AI research labs to build the next generation of cybersecurity AI. As an Incident Response Analyst, you'll bring your real-world SOC experience to help train and evaluate AI systems designed to detect threats, correlate alerts, and support digital investigations — making sure these tools think like the best analysts in the field. This is a unique opportunity to move beyond the alert queue and directly influence how AI understands and responds to security incidents.
