What you’ll do (Role Expectations)
- Lead the design and implementation of large-scale data architectures for cloud-based systems (AWS, Azure) to efficiently ingest, store, and process massive volumes of security telemetry and alerts
- Spearhead advanced AI/ML initiatives, including Generative AI, to develop end-to-end AI solutions for SOC automation, threat detection, and threat hunting, leveraging frameworks like Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch
- Drive the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI Agents to enhance the enrichment of security data, enabling faster human decision-making, while exploring and evaluating various LLM architectures
- Collaborate across teams to integrate ML-driven insights into the platform and apply automation and analytics to reduce analyst workload and enhance detection fidelity
- Provide architectural guidance across engineering based on the fast-paced world of GenAI, Agents, and classic ML models, including those developed by our internal R&D teams
Who You Are (Success Profile)
- You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
