Pay Type: Hourly

FLSA Status: non-exempt

The ZeroEyes Operations Center Analyst is a core member of the 24/7/365 ZeroEyes Operations Center. Analysts are responsible for reviewing real-time AI-generated firearm alerts, determining whether an alert requires escalation, and supporting rapid notification to customers and first responders during potential weapon-related events.

This role requires focus, composure, judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate clearly during high-pressure situations. ZOC Analysts must be able to work in a team environment, follow SOPs precisely, document actions accurately, and contribute to the mission of helping prevent gun-related violence through fast, human-verified detection and response. A significant portion of each shift involves sustained review of high volumes of still images generated by the AI system — analysts must maintain accuracy and focus across repetitive tasks while staying ready to respond immediately when a real detection occurs.

The ideal candidate is dependable, calm under pressure, comfortable with technology, receptive to feedback, and motivated by work that directly impacts public safety.
