Responsibilities
Develop novel ML models for anomaly detection, identity analytics, time-series/sequence analysis, graph modeling, and pattern mining across noisy, high-volume telemetry
Design experiments, baselines, evaluation metrics, and scientific methodologies for threat detection problems
Build prototypes, run experiments, analyze results, and iterate quickly
Work with massive, sparse, high-cardinality datasets (1.2PB/day+) to extract signal from noise
Create data-efficient modeling approaches (self-supervision, embedding models, sampling strategies, feature extraction)
Design inference strategies that work under tight cost, performance, and real-time constraints
Collaborate with Detection Engineering, Data Engineering, Red Team, and Threat Intelligence to define problem statements, understand attack patterns, and interpret telemetry
Provide scientific insights and deep technical guidance to engineering partners building pipelines and detections
Translate research prototypes into production-ready designs with engineering teams
Establish strong modeling baselines, validation methodologies, ablation studies, and well-defined success criteria
Document findings, methodologies, and recommended approaches clearly and reproducibly
Maintain awareness of current academic and industry research; apply relevant advances appropriately
Qualification
Required
Deep knowledge of ML approaches relevant to security: anomaly detection, statistical modeling, representation learning / embeddings, sequence models (RNNs, Transformers), graph-based analysis, clustering and outlier detection
Strong understanding of adversarial ML challenges, noisy/weak/no-label environments, data imbalance and cost-sensitive modeling, model explainability and operational constraints
Expert programming in Python, SQL; comfortable with Spark, Beam, Flink, or similar distributed data systems
Ability to rapidly prototype models and experiment with large datasets using PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or similar
Experience building models that run in production, including monitoring, drift detection, and model evaluation
PhD or Master's in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent experience
10+ years of industry or research experience applying ML to real-world problems
Demonstrated impact through deployed models, patents, publications, or widely adopted research outputs
Preferred
Experience with security telemetry, cloud logs, SIEM/EDR/XDR analytics, identity data, fraud detection, or similar adversarial domains strongly preferred
