About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Design, build, and ship production-grade data and ML systems
  • Apply analytical, statistical, and machine learning techniques to collect, analyze, and interpret large cybersecurity data sets
  • Develop, test, and maintain backend services, APIs, and data pipelines
  • Collaborate closely with software engineering, product, detection engineering, and security engineering teams
  • Own code quality across the stack
  • Operationalize models with appropriate monitoring, versioning, retraining, and rollback strategies (MLOps)
  • Contribute to product, services, and detection engineering roadmap by identifying where data science and engineering investment will measurably improve outcomes for analysts and clients
  • Develop data-driven solutions that ship

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Statistics, or equivalent experience
  • At least 3 years of experience as a data scientist, ML engineer, or applied research engineer, ideally supporting cybersecurity applications
  • Working knowledge of linear algebra, statistics, probability, and the mathematics underlying modern ML
  • Strong understanding of statistical modeling supervised and unsupervised learning, and the tradeoffs between classical ML and deep learning approaches
  • Hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn
  • Experience with big data technologies (Spark, Hadoop ecosystem, or modern equivalents) and NoSQL data stores
  • Experience with data visualization and analyst-facing tooling (Tableau, Power BI, D3.js, or similar)
  • At least 3 years of experience writing production software, with code shipped to real users in a team setting
  • Strong proficiency in Python, plus working competence in at least one additional production language (Go, Rust, C#/.NET, Java, or TypeScript)
  • Solid foundations in software design: data structures, algorithms, OOP and functional patterns, API design, and system design for performance and scale
  • Experience designing and building REST or gRPC APIs and the services behind them
  • Strong with relational and NoSQL database design, query optimization, and schema evolution
  • Proficient with Git, modern code review workflows, and writing unit and integration tests
  • Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines and shipping behind feature flags or staged rollouts
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and at least one orchestration or deployment platform (Kubernetes, ECS, or equivalent)
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms — AWS, Azure, or GCP — including their managed data, compute, and ML services
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to defend technical decisions and write documentation that engineers and analysts will use
  • Direct experience applying data science to security problems: detection engineering, threat intelligence enrichment, behavioral analytics, malware classification, alert triage, or adversary attribution (preferred)
  • Experience with managed ML services such as Amazon SageMaker, Vertex AI, or Azure ML (preferred)
  • Familiarity with LLM-based systems, including retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, evaluation frameworks, and prompt and model lifecycle management (preferred)
  • Experience operating in an Agile or continuous-delivery environment (preferred)
  • Knowledge of data privacy and security regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, or HIPAA, and experience handling sensitive customer data accordingly (preferred)
  • Familiarity with DevOps and SRE practices, including infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), observability (metrics, logs, traces), and incident response (preferred)
  • Background or prior role in threat intelligence, security research, security engineering, or SOC analysis (preferred)
  • Strong work ethic, intellectual honesty, and creative problem-solving — comfortable working through ambiguity and shipping under real deadlines (preferred)
