- Proficiency in modeling large scale data and leveraging state of the art models such as Llama 3 and GNNs/Graph Transformers to generate embeddings
- Fine-tuning on downstream tasks like recommendations and anomaly detection
- Comprehensive grasp on machine learning fundamentals and deep learning algorithms
- Building 0->1 ML products, transitioning initial prototypes to production-ready large-scale machine learning models
- Production-ready model building experience with PyTorch, PyG, DGL or other graph learning frameworks
What the job involves
- As an Applied Research Scientist, you will be applying innovative data science, language and graph learning algorithms to generate insights from large-scale computer networks to solve cybersecurity issues faced by businesses of all scales
- Your contributions will encompass developing advanced machine learning algorithms that would impact our customers directly
- We're looking for innovators and engineers who are ready to bring diverse perspectives, innovate relentlessly, and tackle challenging enterprise security issues head-on, leaving a significant mark in the cybersecurity landscape
- Utilize the state-of-the-art LLM and Graph Learning algorithms to generate important insights for users to enforce policy
- Pretrain language models and generate embedding representations for multi-label predictions
- Perform fine-tuning of open source local LLM models to improve the responses for users and handle complex queries
- Leverage embeddings for downstream tasks on dynamic temporal graph structures
- Devise and run experiments to measure model performance on large-scale data
- Proactively contribute to a new team and product domain, offering strategic insight into state-of-the-art machine learning techniques that can shape the roadmap and vision for the product
Our take
Cybersecurity remains an ongoing battle, with evolving cyberthreats and ever-more determined cybercriminals, and major data breaches such as the SolarWinds hack have the potential to cause widespread disruption. Illumio is taking a different approach to most of the mainstream security companies, with a process called "microsegmentation". This makes it easier to guard companies from security breaches, and contain any breaches that occur.
Detection of viruses is no longer considered sufficient to keep companies and individuals safe. Illumio takes a “zero trust” approach, in which everything is viewed as suspicious, a similar approach to that which is used by the White House. The company operates at the cutting edge of microsegmentation, focusing on protecting cloud datacenters and workloads. With more and more companies moving to the cloud, this approach is crucial.
Illumio also protects endpoints, partnering with big players such as Citrix, Amazon Web Services, and Splunk. A collaboration with Appgate, a Zero Trust secure access company, delivers the industry's first integrated Zero Trust Network Access and Segmentation solution, which can reduce risk across hybrid infrastructure, and proves Illumio's dedication to innovating the space. Additionally, the company announced a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), that is tailored to assist federal agencies in reducing risk.
