• 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
• 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
