About the Role

• Independently assess AI-generated and AI-assisted security investigations and outcomes, monitoring accuracy, consistency, reliability, and performance trends across human and AI-assisted workflows
• Work with SOC leadership and technical teams to address quality issues and continuously improve AI-assisted investigations
• Analyze quality results and trends across analysts, teams, clients, and automated workflows, developing and maintaining QA reporting, metrics, dashboards, and trend analysis
• Produce recurring and ad hoc quality reports, translate QA findings into actionable recommendations, establish feedback loops, and track corrective actions to validate improvements
