TL;DR · Member of Technical Staff Machine Learning & Agent Security Engineering

Member of Technical Staff — Machine Learning & Agent Security Engineering joins a security agentic and machine learning engineering team within the Salesforce Security organization. This role focuses on building scalable, resilient AI capabilities for security engineering, specifically developing high-availability production systems for LLM agentic workflows and automated trust processes. The candidate will build high-throughput data-processing pipelines, feature workflows, and automated security intelligence systems to process large-scale telemetry. Key responsibilities include operational ownership of systems through testing, deployment, and monitoring using logs, metrics, and traces. Required skills include expert Python programming, machine learning fundamentals, and experience with Generative AI and LLM technologies. The role addresses the technical challenge of transforming emerging agentic patterns into robust software solutions while solving complex problems involving scale, performance, and reliability within a security-focused domain to automate threat detection and security operations.

What you'll do

  • Develop and operate high-availability production AI and LLM agentic systems using Python and tool calling.
  • Build scalable data-processing pipelines and automated security intelligence systems for large-scale telemetry.
  • Operationalize machine learning models for classification, clustering, and anomaly detection to automate threat detection.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of software lifecycle including implementation, testing, deployment, and live production operations.
  • Ensure system resilience and performance through robust telemetry, logs, metrics, and traces.
  • Translate emerging agentic AI patterns into reliable, well-tested software services and APIs.
  • Solve complex implementation challenges related to scale, concurrency, and high-volume data processing.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of professional software engineering, machine learning engineering, or related development experience.
  • Strong hands-on programming skills in Python.
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals including data structures, APIs, testing, debugging, and maintainable design.
  • Experience building and operating production software, services, data-processing systems, or ML applications.
  • Experience solving implementation challenges involving scale, performance, reliability, data volume, or concurrency.
  • Practical understanding of machine learning fundamentals and experience applying ML using common libraries or frameworks.
  • Familiarity with Generative AI and LLM technologies integrated into software applications.
  • Understanding of software development practices including source control, automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and operational debugging.
  • Experience working with cloud-based, distributed, or data-intensive applications.
  • Ability to troubleshoot software using logs, metrics, traces, and other telemetry.
  • Experience with Agentic AI workflows, tool calling, and state management (preferred).
  • Experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch, scikit-learn, Hugging Face, or XGBoost (preferred).
  • Experience with distributed/data processing technologies like Ray, Spark, Kafka, or Airflow (preferred).
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud-based ML infrastructure (preferred).
  • Experience in MLOps including deploying and monitoring ML models (preferred).
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts, threat detection, or security frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK (preferred).
  • Exposure to adversarial AI, red teaming, or automated security evaluation (preferred).
