What You Will Be Doing

• Turn detection problems into well-posed ML problems with a clear hypothesis, baseline, and success criteria
• Build, label, and version the datasets used for training and evaluation
• Design, train, and tune models; analyze their errors and feed the findings back into data, features, or architecture
• Define evaluation protocols: metrics, splits, held-out test sets, and thresholds tied to product constraints such as false-positive rate and latency
• Take models from experiment to production on AWS together with MLOps and software engineers, including packaging and inference optimization
• Monitor deployed models for drift and drive retraining when needed
• Keep experiments reproducible and documented, and present results and trade-offs to engineering and product

What We Need From You

• 3+ years of hands-on experience as a Machine Learning Engineer, Data Scientist, or Applied Scientist, with models delivered to production
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field
• Strong Python and the scientific stack (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch or TensorFlow)
• Solid grounding in statistics and ML fundamentals: bias/variance, class imbalance, leakage, calibration
• Practical experience with AWS for data storage and training workloads
• Clear written and spoken English

Nice to Have

• Experience with experiment tracking and model registries (MLflow, Weights & Biases, or similar)
• Experience optimizing and packaging models for inference (quantization, distillation, ONNX, Docker)
• Knowledge of file formats and binary analysis
• Background in cybersecurity, threat detection, or another adversarial domain
• Publications, open-source contributions, or a competitive ML track record
