## About the role

AI is moving faster than any single product team can keep up with. For a security company, the hard question isn’t “can a model do this?” It’s which approach actually works, what it costs, how fast and reliable it is, and whether it’s worth building at all. That’s what this team answers. We’re an Applied AI Research team , and research is our product. We take important questions the company can’t yet answer and turn them into evidence people can act on.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelors, Masters or PhD in Computer Science or related field or equivalent experience
- 5+ years building software and ML systems, with recent hands-on work on LLM systems that went past the prototype stage, 7+ years preferred
- 3+ years of research experience (understanding customer problems and deriving/brainstorming solutions)
- Experience with Claude Code, Cursor or similar, used daily, without lowering your standard for correctness and tests
- Experience in building and deeply evaluating agentic systems in production
- Experience with third-party model APIs and open-weight models (we run on our own GPU fleet)
