# Applied AI Scientist/Engineer

Applied AI Scientist/Engineer — Training LLMs for Cybersecurity Join Averlon's AI research lab, built to lead research at the frontier of cybersecurity. As attackers increasingly use automation and AI, the security community needs models that can reason about systems, find weaknesses, and help defenders respond faster. Our lab trains and evaluates large language models (LLMs) across both defensive and offensive security. On the defensive side, it includes triage, mitigation, remediation, detection engineering, and digital forensics. On the offensive side, this includes penetration testing, red teaming, vulnerability discovery, and exploitation. We host our task experts on inference platforms, models specialized for individual security tasks, for use by other companies as well as internally. As an Applied AI Scientist/Engineer, you will help shape Averlon's research agenda and model capabilities. You will train, evaluate, and benchmark LLMs on real-world security tasks, design reinforcement learning environments, and help publish findings that advance the field. About the Team The lab aims to publish one to two research papers and technical reports each month, including work on new
