Enterprise Cybersecurity Practitioner

Help shape a benchmark for AI agents performing real enterprise cyber defense work by sharing how security operations function in practice. This is a short, paid research engagement focused on expert conversations, not a task, data-labeling, or deliverables project.

• Participate in two to three one-hour video conversations over approximately four weeks, scheduled around your availability.
• Discuss the tools you use, the work that enters your queue, and where professional judgment is most important.
• Explain how your team evaluates the quality of triage, investigations, containment, threat hunts, detection rules, and patches.
• Share where AI assistance is useful, where it creates friction, and what would make an AI benchmark credible for this work.
• Review a draft task taxonomy and identify missing, mislabeled, or differently weighted areas.

• Current or recent hands-on enterprise security experience.
• Relevant backgrounds include SOC analyst or SOC lead roles at tier 2 or above, incident response, digital forensics, detection engineering, threat hunting, application security, product security, or security engineering involving red team engagements.
• Application or product security candidates should have experience identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in production code.
• Experience with EDR and SIEM platforms such as CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender and Sentinel, Splunk, SentinelOne, Elastic, or similar tools is a plus.
• Security leaders are welcome if they remain closely involved in hands-on work.

• Remote, hourly engagement for candidates based in the United States.
• Sessions are one hour each, with no preparation expected.
• There is nothing to build, label, or submit.

• $125 to $175 per hour for interview time, paid as a spot bonus.

• Discuss general work patterns rather than specific incidents, and do not share confidential information about current or former employers or customers.
• Your input will be used only to design the benchmark and will not be attributed to you or your employer.
