Turing’s mission is to accelerate superintelligence to drive real economic progress. Headquartered in San Francisco, Turing works with frontier AI labs to generate high-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and frontier research benchmarks that improve model capabilities in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and advanced STEM reasoning. In software engineering, Turing is the largest and longest-running data provider in the category. Turing also works with Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, life sciences, healthcare, retail, automotive, and CPG to build and deploy end-to-end agentic AI systems inside mission-critical workflows. By operating on both sides, Turing closes the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment, turning real-world deployment signals into better data, evaluations, and more capable models.

We're looking for a Staff Security Analyst to be the senior technical voice in how we detect, triage, investigate, and respond to security threats. This is a senior individual-contributor role for a deeply experienced analyst who can not only run the hardest investigations but also improve the systems, detections, and playbooks the whole team relies on.
As a Staff analyst, you'll handle our most complex and high-severity cases, sharpen our detection and triage capabilities, mentor other analysts, and act as a bridge between day-to-day security operations and the engineering work that makes them better.
What you'll do- Lead triage and investigation of complex, high-severity security alerts and incidents across cloud, endpoint, identity, and application telemetry.
- Own and improve detection quality — tuning, writing, and validating detections to raise signal and cut noise, in partnership with detection engineering.
- Serve as a senior responder during security incidents: drive investigations, coordinate response, and produce clear post-incident analysis.
- Perform proactive threat hunting and turn findings into new detections and prevention.
- Develop and maintain investigation and response playbooks, and raise the analytical rigor of the team.
- Operationalize threat intelligence to prioritize the threats most relevant to us.
- Build automation and tooling to streamline triage and investigation, reducing manual toil.
- Mentor analysts and set standards for investigation quality and documentation.
- Significant experience (typically 8+ years) in security operations, incident response, threat detection, or a similar analytical security role.
- Deep hands-on experience investigating threats across cloud, endpoint, identity, and network telemetry.
- Strong command of SIEM/detection platforms, log analysis, and query languages.
- Experience writing and tuning detections and leading incident investigations end to end.
- Scripting/automation ability (Python or similar) to reduce toil and extend tooling.
- Excellent analytical judgment and clear written communication for incident documentation.
- Detection engineering experience and familiarity with detection-as-code practices.
- Threat hunting and threat intelligence experience.
- Familiarity with cloud provider security tooling and forensics.
- Relevant certifications (GCIA, GCIH, or similar).
At the Staff level, your impact goes beyond the cases you personally close. You'll raise the analytical bar for the whole team, improve the detections and playbooks everyone depends on, mentor other analysts, and make the organization measurably faster and sharper at catching and responding to threats.
