AI Engineer – Next-Generation Cyber Security
The full posting
Company Description
We are seeking an innovative AI Engineer to join our team in building the next generation of security protection and cyber attack detection for endpoints. In this role, you will leverage cutting-edge AI technologies and advanced agentic approaches to revolutionize how cyber threats are identified, analyzed, and mitigated. You will design, build, and optimize intelligent AI agents that analyze complex security data to deliver highly accurate, automated verdict decisions on malicious activities, ensuring endpoint resilience against sophisticated attacks.
Job Description
- Agentic Framework Design: Design and implement intelligent, multi-agent AI systems capable of executing complex security analysis workflows and automated decision-making.
- Context Optimization: Analyze diverse security datasets to determine the most effective context, telemetry data, and threat intelligence to feed into AI agents to maximize decision accuracy and minimize false positives.
- Model Configuration & Integration: Evaluate, configure, and deploy a variety of state-of-the-art language models and AI architectures tailored for high-performance security use cases.
- Data Analysis & Performance Evaluation: Perform deep data analysis on security events and model outputs to continuously refine agent logic, benchmark performance, and optimize AI-driven detection mechanisms.
- Collaboration & Deployment: Partner with security research and engineering teams to integrate intelligent AI components into production systems seamlessly and securely.
Required Technical Skills
- AI & Agentic Systems: Proven experience building applications with modern AI architectures, advanced prompt engineering, and multi-agent orchestration frameworks.
- Model Management: Hands-on experience configuring, optimizing, and deploying diverse machine learning and language models.
- Data Processing & Analysis: Strong proficiency in Python and data analysis libraries to manipulate, clean, and extract insights from high-velocity data streams.
- Security Awareness: Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts, threat detection principles, or common security data formats (such as system logs, event tracking, or endpoint telemetry).
Preferred Qualifications & Advantages
- SLM & Local Deployment: Direct experience working with, optimizing, and deploying Small Language Models (SLMs) to run efficiently in local or resource-constrained environments.
- Analytical Thinker: Exceptional problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose complex system behaviors and iteratively improve AI model performance based on data.
- Adaptability: Passion for staying at the absolute forefront of rapidly evolving AI technologies and applying them creatively to complex domains.
- Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in data science, AI engineering, or related technical fields, with a proven track record of deploying AI-driven solutions.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience) from a recognized and accredited university.
