About the role We’re assembling a small, hand-picked team of seasoned security operations professionals to capture and structure real-world security workflows for a frontier AI research client.
Who we’re looking for 5+ years of professional experience in security operations / SOC / information security. Hands-on operational experience is the priority. Background as a SOC analyst or equivalent — monitoring dashboards, triaging alerts, handling incidents, watching the network day to day (e.g. flagging phishing / suspicious clicks). Experience gained at a security vendor, an MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider), or the in-house / internal security team of a large enterprise. Extremely detail-oriented and comfortable being deep in the weeds on careful, repetitive, manual logging work.
Not a fit for this role This is information security / security-operations work specifically. It is not red teaming, penetration testing, CTF, or general offensive security. Candidates from those areas aren’t the target profile here.

Willingness to do occasional weekend work when needed. Availability: Minimum 3 weeks of full-time availability; ideally a 2–3 month full-time commitment. Best suited to people who have left their previous role and can go all-in Exclusivity: This engagement is exclusive to the client, with a garden-leave period (2–3 months) following the engagement. Onboarding: Training available ahead of kickoff, especially for those new to human-data / annotation work.
