Were looking for a Senior Data Scientist to be a core driver in how our product empowers security teams. You will be expected to deeply understand customer needs and translate them directly into product features that deliver real value. You'll own key parts of our frontend stack, drive key architectural decisions, and turn complex security data into clear, actionable business insights.

In this role, you will design, build, and productionize advanced models that help organizations secure AI systems across data, models, and runtime usage. Youll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Security teams to turn complex, real-world security problems into scalable, high-impact AI solutions.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role with true ownership, where your work directly shapes the intelligence powering a category-defining AI Security platform.


What Youll Do:

Own End-to-End Model Development (Research → Production)

Take full ownership of the model lifecycle: problem definition, research, prototyping, training, evaluation, deployment, and ongoing optimization.

Design and build scalable ML / AI solutions to detect, analyze, and mitigate AI-related security risks.

Ensure models are robust, explainable, and production-ready in real-world enterprise environments.

Partner Deeply with Product & Engineering

Collaborate closely with Product Managers to translate customer pain points and security requirements into clear modeling objectives.

Work hands-on with engineering to integrate models into production systems and data pipelines.

Balance research depth with pragmatic execution and business impact.

Build AI Security Intelligence

Develop capabilities across areas such as AI behavior analysis, anomaly detection, model governance, data risk detection, and usage observability.

Work with structured and unstructured data, including logs, prompts, model outputs, and metadata.

Continuously iterate on models based on usage patterns, feedback, and emerging threat vectors.

Lead Research POCs & Innovation

Stay at the forefront of LLMs, applied ML, and AI security techniques and bring new ideas into the product.

We're looking for an AI researcher to take an integral part in research into how these models behave, how they should be evaluated, and how they can be deployed and used more efficiently across real engineering workloads.
This is a deeply technical research role with direct product impact.
You'll study frontier and open-source models, develop evaluation frameworks, investigate inference and model optimization techniques, explore local deployment strategies, and help answer questions such as:
Which model should handle a particular task?
How much capability do we lose when we quantize it?
Can a smaller local model replace a frontier API for a specific workload?
How should models be routed across latency, cost, privacy, and quality constraints?
How do we measure whether one model is actually better than another for agentic software engineering?
Your work will directly shape model strategy and the intelligence behind our AI infrastructure products.

Your Impact & Responsibilities
As a Senior ML Research Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of large language models: from data definition and curation, through training and evaluation, to providing robust models that can be consumed by product and platform teams.
Own training and fine-tuning of LLMs / seq2seq models: Design and execute training pipelines for transformer-based models (encoder-decoder, decoder-only, retrievalaugmented, etc.), and fine-tune open-source LLMs on our company-specific data (security content, logs, incidents, customer interactions).
Apply advanced LLM training techniques such as instruction tuning, preference / contrastive learning, LoRA / PEFT, continual pre-training, and domain adaptation where appropriate.
Work deeply with data: define data strategies with product, research and domain experts; build and maintain data pipelines for collecting, cleaning, de-duplicating and labeling large-scale text, code and semi-structured data; and design synthetic data generation and augmentation pipelines.
Build robust evaluation and experimentation frameworks: define offline metrics for LLM quality (task-specific accuracy, calibration, hallucination rate, safety, latency and cost); implement automated evaluation suites (benchmarks, regression tests, redteaming scenarios); and track model performance over time.
Scale training and inference: use distributed training frameworks (e.g. DeepSpeed, FSDP, tensor/pipeline parallelism) to efficiently train models on multi-GPU / multi-node clusters, and optimize inference performance and cost with techniques such as quantization, distillation and caching.
Collaborate closely with security researchers and data engineers to turn domain knowledge and threat intelligence into high-value training and evaluation data, and to expose your models through well-defined interfaces to downstream product and platform teams.

Were looking for experienced, hands-on researchers who have repeatedly taken complex AI capabilities from initial problem definition to real-world use. Expect scarce data, noisy labels, and problems without an established playbook. Youll have the autonomy to shape the approach-and the responsibility to make it work.
Responsibilities
Our Research Tracks:
Were hiring across four tracks. We expect deep expertise in at least one, not mastery of all four.
Agents: Self-improving agents, learning from execution traces, and user feedback. Genetic and evolutionary optimization of workflows, tools, and code
NLP: Reinforcement learning for language models, distillation, retrieval and embeddings, named-entity and relation extraction, and multilingual learning.
Vision & Audio: Visual and speech understanding, detection and segmentation, multimodal representation learning, grounding, and cross-modal retrieval.
Machine Learning: Representation and graph learning, probabilistic and causal modeling, optimization, and learning with limited or noisy data.
What Youll Own:
Take research from an open-ended problem to a working capability: define success, develop the data and methods, run rigorous experiments to make it work. Work closely with engineering through deployment, measuring quality, efficiency, not just benchmark scores. Drive progress through technical blockers, adapt when an approach fails, and strengthen the team through collaboration, technical review, and mentoring.
