Full–time

Posted on: 2 days ago

Key Responsibility:
  • Lead the fine-tuning and domain adaptation of open-source LLMs (e.g., LLaMA 3) using frameworks like vLLM, HuggingFace, DeepSpeed, and PEFT techniques.
  • Develop data pipelines to ingest, clean, and structure cybersecurity data, including threat intelligence reports, CVEs, exploits, malware analysis, and configuration files.
  • Collaborate with cybersecurity analysts to build taxonomy and structured knowledge representations to embed into LLMs.
  • Drive the design and execution of evaluation frameworks specific to cybersecurity tasks (e.g., classification, summarization, anomaly detection).
  • Own the lifecycle of model development including training, inference optimization, testing, and deployment.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to a team of ML engineers and researchers.
  • Stay current with advances in LLM architectures, cybersecurity datasets, and AI-based threat detection.
  • Advocate for ethical AI use and model robustness, especially given the sensitive nature of cybersecurity data

    • Requirements

    Required Skills:
  • 5+ years of experience in machine learning, with at least 2 years focused on LLM training or fine-tuning.
