About The Role

We are seeking a passionate Machine Learning Engineer to help shape and lead innovation in Privilege Elevation and Delegation Management (PEDM). You’ll design and deploy models that detect, classify, and analyze elevated access events and user behaviors in real time. You will work on sequence and behavior modeling, temporal anomaly detection, and GenAI powered features that provide intelligent access decisions with minimal false positives, maximizing security, visibility, and usability.

This is your chance to build production-grade, privacy-preserving AI systems that operate at scale powering our product suite and backend intelligence engines with LLMs, transformers, and time-series models.

Responsibilities

• Build, fine-tune, and deploy models using LLMs, transformers, and sequence architectures (e.g., Llama, Qwen, BERT, LSTM, TCN)
• Build classifiers for behavioral and temporal signals from user and system activity data
• Generate and augment datasets using synthetic, multilingual data and edge-case coverage
• Scale ML experimentation and deployment pipelines with MLOps best practices
• Create systems targeting cloud, on-prem, and self-hosted environments to support client-side inference
• Continuously improve model performance, latency, and reliability
• Implement secure, privacy-aware inference strategies aligned with zero-trust principles
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align ML efforts with product goals
• Write clean, maintainable code and provide comprehensive documentation
  
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in ML engineering or research - focused on cybersecurity, NLP, or sequence/temporal modeling
• Strong coding skills in Python, JavaScript (React), or a similar language relevant to ML
• Hands-on experience with using and fine-tuning large language models, embeddings, or multilingual models for real-world cybersecurity tasks
• Proficiency with ML frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Hugging Face Transformers
• Familiarity with MLOps, model deployment, and monitoring practices
• Experience with model validation and metrics (precision, recall, F1-score)
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Knowledge of secure coding, encryption, zero-trust, and zero-knowledge principles
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
• Due to this role’s involvement in GovCloud, all applicants must be a “US Person”
  
  

Benefits

• Medical, Dental & Vision (Inclusive of domestic partnerships)
• Employer Paid Life Insurance & Employee/Spouse/Child Supplemental life
• Voluntary Short/Long Term Disability Insurance
• 401k (Roth/Traditional)
