Security represents the most critical priority for our customers in a world awash in digital threats, regulatory scrutiny, and state complexity. Our mission is to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end-to-end, simplified solutions. The Security organization accelerates our mission and bold ambition to ensure that our company and industry are securing digital technology platforms, devices, and clouds in our customers' heterogeneous environments, as well as ensuring the security of our own internal state. Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world. We are looking for a Senior Applied AI Engineer to join the Applied Research arm of Security AI Research (MSECAIR), where we engage in research to create truly differentiating products and services across the Security Division. In the 18 months since our organization's founding, we have driven the research behind Security Copilot and a suite of both foundational and specialized AI models. Our project portfolio includes a variety of short-to-long-term horizon projects with applications across the security suite. We are a culture-first organization, and our culture is one of ambition and science together with curiosity and humility. We believe in a future that is brighter and better than the present, and we want to be the ones who make it happen. We believe that customer obsession requires a commitment to investing in new knowledge. Our people are some of the best and brightest scientists and engineers in the world, and we collaborate every day, helping each other grow and break boundaries. But we do this with the humility that comes with the immense challenge of providing cybersecurity to millions of customers. As a Senior Applied AI Engineer, you will drive AI-centric development in the research and development for security scenarios. This will require deeply technical innovation across academia and industry. You will collaborate with a team of world-class researchers to develop novel methods, tools, and frameworks for demonstrating how AI-powered security can help secure the digital estate of our customers. This can include developing advanced autonomous AI services, AI skills for our Copilot for Security, new GenAI models tuned for our cloud environment, or new agent-based systems for GenAI-based experiences for security professionals. You will also collaborate with internal and external partners to apply your work to real-world scenarios and challenges. You will have the opportunity to publish your work in top-tier venues and contribute to the scientific community and the broader society.
