  • Knowledge of adversarial ML, graph analytics, or behavioral modeling in security contexts.
  • Experience integrating ML models into SIEM pipelines or automated detection frameworks.
  • Exposure to LLMs and AI engineering (e.g., prompt engineering, RAG, agent design), and awareness of LLM-specific risks like prompt injection and data leakage.

What you get

  • Work that Matters: impactful work focused on user privacy and security.
