The systems we protect deliver the water you drink, power your home, and keep the hospitals your community depends on running. Those critical infrastructure systems that power our civilization around the world are under attack every day by adversaries. When those systems fail, people are immediately at risk. We are the global leader in xOT cybersecurity, combining technology, threat intelligence, and expert services. The people here chose this work because they understand what is at stake. Here, you will find a remote-first mission-driven team across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC built on authenticity, transparency, and trust. If safeguarding the systems that protect your family, friends, and community is the kind of work that matters to you, you are in the right place. \nAbout the Role \nWe're looking for a Machine Learning Application Engineer to join our Engineering team. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and applied ML. You'll be taking existing model types and putting them to work inside our product and data pipelines. You won't be training models from scratch or managing ML infrastructure, but you will be doing the thoughtful applied work of figuring out which techniques fit which problems, wiring them into our workflows, and making sure the outputs are reliable and useful. \nYou'll work closely with AI Engineers, Data Engineers, and product teams to bring ML-driven capabilities into the Dragos platform. Things like clustering network behaviors, classifying assets, and surfacing anomalies that matter for ICS/OT security analysts. \nResponsibilities \nApply clustering, classification, anomaly detection, and other established ML techniques to cybersecurity data problems in the ICS/OT domain.\nIntegrate ML model outputs into existing data pipelines and product workflows, supporting both batch and near-real-time processing patterns.\nUnderstand model behavior and translate research outputs into reliable pipeline components.\nWork with Data Engineers to ensure ML-driven stages of the pipeline have clear data contracts, appropriate observability, and sane failure modes.\nEvaluate open-source and third-party models for fit against specific use cases, knowing when to apply an existing tool versus when to escalate to a model-building effort.\nWrite clean, maintainable Python or Rust that other engineers can reason about, test, and extend.\nTroubleshoot ML component behavior in production to diagnose issues with output quality, data drift, or unexpected edge cases.\nCommunicate clearly about what a model is doing, where it's uncertain, and how its outputs should (and shouldn't) be used downstream. \nQualifications \n5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent working with ML outputs or data pipelines in a production context.\nStrong Python skills; SQL proficiency; comfort reading and reasoning about data at scale.\nHands-on experience applying ML techniques including clustering (k-means, DBSCAN, hierarchical), classification, and anomaly detection. Familiarity with scikit-learn and the surrounding Python ML ecosystem; you don't need to have implemented a neural net, but you should know how to use one responsibly.\nSolid understanding of data pipeline concepts: how data flows, where it gets transformed, what can go wrong, and how to make failures visible.\nAbility to evaluate whether a model's outputs are actually trustworthy for a given use case - not just whether accuracy metrics look good.\nStrong written and verbal communication; comfortable explaining tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nNice to Have \nCybersecurity domain knowledge - especially around threat detection, network behavior, or ICS/OT operations is a meaningful plus, but not a prerequisite. \nExperience working with graph-based representations of network topology or asset relationships.\nFamiliarity with stream processing or event-driven architectures.\nExposure to containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) as a consumer/deployer, not necessarily an operator. \nCompensation: \nSalary: $190,000\nCompetitive Equity Package \nComprehensive Benefits Plan \n#LI-NH1 #LI-REMOTE \nDragos is an Equal Opportunity Employer and considers applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetics, or any other basis forbidden under federal, state, or local laws. All new hires must pass a background check as a condition of employment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4536,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Network Security","Threat Intelligence","Information Security","Incident Response"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-21T00:58:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":23,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.817,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":88,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":190000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dragos-senior-aiml-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dragos-senior-aiml-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T16:45:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23076,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":49114},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=49114"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdragos-senior-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdragos-senior-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdragos-senior-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dragos-senior-aiml-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdragos-senior-aiml-engineer"}]}
