You will have the opportunity to work with multiple lines of business and learn from (and contribute to) a variety of security use cases. This is a hands-on role where success is measured by producing solutions that have measurable impact. If you have experience with large scale machine learning and have a passion for security, this will be an exciting opportunity.

Key job responsibilities

* Eagerly explore data - looking for impactful combinations of data transformations and analysis approaches. Validate our security and business teams’ hypotheses and identify new data analytics opportunities

* Rapidly design, prototype, and test many possible hypotheses in a high-ambiguity environment, making use of both quantitative and business judgment. Report results in a scientifically-oriented way

* Seek partnerships with AI/ML scientists and architects to identify and pursue new data science approaches to address real-world challenges.

* Collaborate with software engineering teams to integrate successful experiments into large-scale, highly complex production services

* Contribute to best practice recommendations, tutorials, blog posts, sample code, and presentations adapted different stakeholders. Team with our business partners to help facilitate adoption of these recommendations
