WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Develop and research novel AI models, focusing on transformers and deep learning. Lead mid- to long-term projects aimed at advancing AI-driven features in the cybersecurity domain for Wiz products.
- Conduct experiments and evaluate the performance of AI models, algorithms, and techniques using real-world datasets and simulated environments.
- Stay informed about cutting-edge AI methodologies, frameworks, and tools and apply them to improve security solutions’ accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to design, build, and maintain production pipelines. Work closely with the Security Research and Product teams to define research goals.
- Publish research findings and AI thought leadership content and present at leading conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, or CVPR.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- An M.Sc. degree in computer science, statistics, or a related field is a must; a Ph.D. degree is an advantage.
- At least 3 peer-reviewed publications in reputable academic journals or conferences.
- 5+ years of experience in leading and managing data science and machine learning projects, preferably at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
- Experience and hands-on familiarity with distributed cloud systems.
- Strong knowledge of deep learning models and common model architectures such as transformer models, LLMs, CNNs, RNNs. Knowledge of programming languages that are used in AI research—like Python—and experience with AI frameworks (e.g., Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenAI, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
- Proven ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment and come up with creative solutions to challenging problems.
- Excellent communication (both written and verbal) and presentation skills.
ADVANTAGE
- Knowledge of cybersecurity principles, attack vectors, and defense mechanisms.
- Experience speaking at data science and AI conferences like NeurIPS, ICML, or CVPR.
