About the Opportunity
This opportunity is for experienced Cybersecurity Professionals, Security Engineers, and CISOs to contribute to advanced AI research and evaluation projects. You'll apply your expertise to develop realistic enterprise cybersecurity scenarios, create reference outputs, and build evaluation frameworks that reflect real-world security operations, incident response, risk management, and governance.
Responsibilities
- Develop cybersecurity scenarios covering SOC monitoring, incident response, digital forensics, vulnerability management, and security architecture.
- Create tasks across threat detection, penetration testing, security engineering, and GRC.
- Design scenarios using tools such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike, Tenable, Qualys, and enterprise GRC platforms.
- Apply threat modeling, incident response, and risk assessment methodologies.
- Produce reference incident reports, security assessments, architecture designs, and compliance documentation.
- Develop rubrics that distinguish authentic enterprise security judgment from generic textbook knowledge.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
