TL;DR · Senior Cyber Machine Learning Engineer

As a Cyber Machine Learning Engineer, Senior, you will join a mission-oriented team focused on accelerating cyber defense and threat hunting through machine learning. You will identify opportunities for applying machine learning to unique cyber defense use cases while building, training, and packaging production-ready models to detect advanced persistent threats. Your daily work involves implementing continuous integration and delivery to reduce manual troubleshooting and utilizing open-source tools and cloud resources to minimize false positives. The role requires expertise in Python, Bash, Docker, Kubernetes, and data streaming technologies like Kafka. You will also utilize SIEM tools such as Splunk or ElasticSearch while working with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and MISP threat sharing. This position addresses complex problems in the domain of operational technologies for cybersecurity settings to provide near real-time detection for federal and commercial clients.

What you'll do

  • Identify opportunities to apply machine learning models to unique cyber defense use cases.
  • Build, train, and package production-ready machine learning models for detecting advanced persistent threats.
  • Automate near real-time detection and defense systems using open-source tools and cloud resources.
  • Reduce false positive alerts and decrease time to detection through automated processes.
  • Implement continuous integration and delivery pipelines to minimize manual testing and troubleshooting.
  • Analyze security logs, including endpoint and network data, to conduct cyber threat hunting.
  • Develop novel solutions for complex cybersecurity problems using Python, Bash, Docker, or Kubernetes.
  • Manage data warehousing, ETL, and streaming technologies like Kafka to support machine learning workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree required; Master's preferred and Doctorate is a plus.
  • Ability to obtain a Secret clearance.
  • 2+ years of experience with cyber threat hunting and analysis of compromises within security logs.
  • 2+ years of experience exploring datasets, training machine learning models for inference, and utilizing output for investigations.
  • Experience packaging and deploying production-level models using Python, Bash, Docker, or Kubernetes.
  • Experience with data warehousing, ETL, or data streaming technologies like Kafka.
  • Experience with SIEM technologies such as Splunk or ElasticSearch.
  • Experience with MITRE ATT&CK framework, MISP threat sharing, or cyber intelligence platforms.
