Role Description:
The Data Scientist is responsible for developing and implementing AI-driven solutions to enhance cybersecurity measures within the organization. This role involves leveraging data science techniques to analyze security data, detect threats, and enhance security processes with generative AI and other analytic capabilities. The Data Scientist will work closely with cybersecurity teams to identify data-driven automation opportunities which strengthen the organization’s security posture.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Develop analytics, machine learning models, and agentic AI solutions to address security risks, improve detection capabilities, and enhance the organization’s cybersecurity posture.
- Design, build, and evaluate AI agents and multi-agent workflows that support cybersecurity use cases such as automated threat detection, alert triage, incident investigation, vulnerability analysis, and response orchestration.
- Apply generative AI, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and agent-based architectures to automate security analysis, summarize findings, recommend actions, and support human-in-the-loop decision-making.
- Collaborate with Data Engineers to translate security-focused algorithms, AI agents, and automation workflows into scalable, production-ready solutions.
- Design and implement security-focused analytics pipelines leveraging MLOps practices, generative AI, and agent-based architectures (e.g, autonomous agents for threat detection and response).
- Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to identify opportunities where AI agents can reduce manual effort, accelerate investigation timelines, and improve consistency in security operations.
- Contribute to data engineering efforts to refine data infrastructure and ensure scalable, efficient security analytics.
