Job description

Role overview

Develop detection systems for an AI-based cyber defense platform facing adaptive, AI-assisted attacks. The role combines threat analysis and detection strategy with engineering: you'll use live telemetry to identify gaps, build collaborative AI agents, and feed discoveries back into detection and model improvements.

Responsibilities

• Design multi-agent systems that work together to identify emerging threat patterns in live data.
• Analyze telemetry to find weaknesses in current detection and understand how attackers bypass controls.
• Build detection capabilities that can adapt to changing, AI-generated threats.
• Connect findings from real-world activity to ongoing model and detection improvements.
• Contribute to large-scale ingestion, distributed agent infrastructure, and feedback systems that turn new signals into training data.

Requirements

• The available role description emphasizes detection engineering, adversarial analysis, and building AI-driven detection systems; it does not provide a complete list of required qualifications.

Benefits and work setup

• Full-time role based in New York City or San Francisco, with in-office or US-based remote work available.
• Flat hierarchy, direct ownership, and a fast-moving environment focused on real-time defense.
