Job Level
About the role
- Shape the Defense Strategy: You will own the decision-making process—translating vague security threats into concrete mathematical problems
- By championing a rapid prototyping culture, you will validate hypotheses in days rather than months
- Detect the "Unknown Unknowns": You will lead the evolution of our threat detection, introducing more advanced probabilistic modeling, graph analytics, supervised and unsupervised learning
- Your work will expose sophisticated threats—such as active system intrusions, lateral movement, beaconing, and insider attacks—that evade traditional defenses
- Elevate the Organization: You will act as a force multiplier, mentoring junior scientists and engineers
- Operationalize Intelligence: By prioritizing engineering rigor (CI/CD, scalable code) and adversarial resilience, you will deliver production-grade models that the SOC actually trusts
Requirements
- Extensive experience (3-5+ years) in data science
- At least 2+ years dedicated to the cybersecurity domain designing, implementing and deploying systems of anomaly detection, clustering, and graph models in production
- Extended practical knowledge and familiarity with security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and OCSF
- Hands-on comfort with high-volume logs and proficiency with Spark/Pyspark, Snowflake, Flink and streaming services such as Apache Kafka
- Deep understanding and application of containerization (Docker) and workflow orchestration (Kubernetes, Apache Airflow) for automated ML pipelines
- Mastery of Python programming, including proficiency in leading ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and adherence to software engineering best practices
- Demonstrated success in implementing comprehensive MLOps methodologies, encompassing CI/CD pipelines, testing protocols, and model performance monitoring
- Solid foundation in feature engineering techniques and the implementation of feature stores
- Experience in formulating ML governance policies and ensuring adherence to data security regulations
- Ability to explain complex statistical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership
- Proven ability to manage scope, timelines, and stakeholder expectations across multiple organizations
- High degree of autonomy with the ability to look at a vague business problem and structure a data-driven solution without needing a predefined roadmap
- A related technical degree is required.
