Technical Roadmap Ownership: Lead model experimentation strategies, prioritizing architectural improvements based on measurable detection accuracy gains and business impact
End-to-End Model Development: Guide the design, training, fine-tuning, and evaluation of ML models across diverse detection modalities (malware similarity search, URL reputation, phishing/brand-spoofing image analysis, and web threat classification)
Quality & Release Standards: Define model quality metrics, evaluation datasets, and acceptance criteria. Establish strict model release contracts (versioned, runtime-portable artifacts like ONNX, performance benchmarks) for the Java-based Aether backend
Production Readiness: Ensure all deployed models meet rigorous operational constraints across cloud, offline, air-gapped, and embedded deployment tiers
What We Are Looking for
Proven experience directly managing or leading technical teams, including conducting 1-on-1s, managing performance, and organizing daily workflows
3+ years applied ML experience across at least two of: text/content classification, computer vision, similarity search/embedding models, malware, or threat detection
Strong proficiency in Python and frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow, alongside deep experience with model evaluation frameworks
Demonstrated history of shipping models consumed by other engineering teams with clean, well-documented handoff contracts
Solid grounding in statistics and rigorous experiment design
Nice to have
Security ML domain experience (malware family classification, phishing detection, URL reputation)
Experience with model compression or quantization for offline and embedded environments
