TL;DR · Lead Machine Learning Engineer - LMTS

As a Lead Member of Technical Staff in Machine Learning Engineering at Salesforce, you will join the Trust Intelligence Platform team to build and accelerate scalable machine learning pipelines for security engineering. Your role involves architecting data-driven strategies for threat detection, validating hypotheses quickly, and mentoring junior staff while building internal tooling that enhances team efficiency. You will use Python with TensorFlow or PyTorch, along with Spark/Pyspark, Snowflake, Flink, and Apache Kafka to handle high-volume logs and implement robust MLOps practices. The position requires extensive experience in cybersecurity data science, including feature engineering, containerization, and workflow orchestration. Ideal candidates have a strong background in quantitative fields and can communicate complex statistical concepts effectively to non-technical stakeholders.

What you'll do

  • Translate security threats into concrete mathematical problems to guide decision-making.
  • Lead the development of advanced probabilistic models and graph analytics for threat detection.
  • Mentor junior team members and build internal tooling to enhance team efficiency.
  • Ensure production-grade models are scalable, resilient, and trusted by SOC analysts.
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines and adhere to MLOps methodologies for model deployment.
  • Develop feature stores and apply best practices in feature engineering techniques.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive experience (3-5+ years) in data science with a focus on cybersecurity.
  • Proficiency in Spark/Pyspark, Snowflake, Flink, and Apache Kafka for high-volume log processing.
  • Mastery of Python programming and leading ML frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch.
  • Deep understanding of containerization (Docker), workflow orchestration (Kubernetes, Airflow).
  • Demonstrated success in implementing MLOps methodologies including CI/CD pipelines.
  • Solid foundation in feature engineering techniques and implementation of feature stores.
  • Ability to explain complex statistical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and leadership.
