Data Security & DLP Analyst

Data Security & DLP Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

We partner with the world's leading AI research teams to build smarter, safer AI systems. Now we're looking for data security professionals who understand how sensitive information is exposed, detected, and protected in the real world - and want to put that knowledge to work shaping the next generation of AI.

This is a unique opportunity to move beyond traditional security ops and directly influence how AI reasons about data risk, privacy, and protection at scale.
