AI/ML Engineer II

• Project Execution: Ability to drive and deliver technical components of complex projects. This means communicating effectively to align on requirements, executing on high-quality code, and collaborating with senior engineers and stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle.
• AI Layer Engineering: Design & build the AI layer that powers autonomous detection, RAG-backed investigation, and auto-remediation workflows.
• Productionize Reasoning Engines: Develop and productionize large-scale LLMs, graph-based reasoning engines, and streaming feature pipelines that operate on billions of security events.
• Evaluation & Reliability: Own evaluation & reliability—from prompt libraries and fine-tuning to red-team testing, latency budgets, and fallback strategies.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner tightly with Product, Detection Engineering, and Customer Success to translate real-world attacker behavior into robust ML and rule-based detections.
• Push the Frontier: Experiment with retrieval-augmented generation, tool-calling agents, and multi-modal models (text + logs + graphs) to keep defenders decisively ahead.

Soft skills

• Communication: Clear, concise communication skills and a bias for collaborative problem-solving.
• Leadership Alignment: Proven track record of gathering consensus and guiding multi-stakeholder initiatives through uncertain boundaries.
• Analytical Rigor: Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

Education & certifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Relevant certifications (AWS/GCP Professional Engineer, Kubernetes, or security-related credentials) are a plus.
