Incident Response Analyst (AI Training)

About the Role

We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of security-focused AI systems - and we need real incident responders to make it happen. Your hands-on experience in SOC operations and digital investigations will directly shape how AI understands, analyzes, and responds to security threats.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your cybersecurity expertise beyond the day-to-day grind - and leave a lasting mark on how AI defends organizations at scale.
