Senior ML Engineer - Malware Detection
Quick Summary
Machine Learning Model Development: Design, train, fine-tune,
Train and evaluate an initial production-data model during the first month, bring multiple models into production or shadow testing by month three,
The Senior ML Engineer will develop and deploy advanced machine learning solutions to detect web-based malware across large-scale Linux hosting environments. Working with an extensive dataset of real-world malware samples, analyst decisions, detection rules, and cleanup outcomes, you will transform production intelligence into more accurate and efficient security systems. Your work will span classical machine learning, transformer models, LLM-assisted triage, and automated signature generation. You will own the journey from raw data and experimentation to production deployment, with success measured by real detection improvements and controlled false-positive rates. Collaborating closely with malware analysts, infrastructure specialists, and fellow ML engineers, you will have access to dedicated GPU resources and modern AI-assisted development tools. This remote-first opportunity is ideal for an experienced ML practitioner who thrives on experimentation, rigorous evaluation, and delivering measurable cybersecurity impact.
You will lead the development, evaluation, and deployment of machine learning systems that improve malware detection at scale while balancing accuracy, operational costs, and resource constraints. Your key responsibilities will include:
