Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Lead the architecture and development of scalable AI/ML infrastructure, LLM serving platforms, and agentic workflows tailored for cloud-scale cybersecurity use cases
• Architect reusable platform foundations—including networking, security, authentication, and monitoring—to standardize and secure enterprise AI/ML services
• Define and implement system observability, evaluation, and reliability frameworks to ensure optimal performance and stability of AI systems in production

Who can apply

• You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
• You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
• You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
• You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
• You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.
• What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
• Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
• Proven experience designing and operating large-scale, low-latency distributed systems, with deep expertise in availability, fault tolerance, consistency, and cloud-native microservices (AWS preferrable, GCP, or Azure)
• Expertise in LLMs and production AI/ML infrastructure, including orchestration frameworks, inference systems, and full-lifecycle pipeline operations
• Demonstrated track record of cross-organizational technical leadership, driving architectural decisions, mentoring teams, and shipping production-grade services
