Summary
You will become part of the Incident Creator and AI Research team within the Technology Division in Bratislava. The team focuses on detecting malicious activity, combining correlation rules with machine learning models to evaluate potential security incidents from terabytes of behavioral data. Beyond detection, the team builds incident-handling tooling for security operators and develops automation, including potential AI SOC.Job description
As an ExperiencedAIResearcher, you apply machine learning methods to real-world cybersecurity problems - preparing behavioral data,buildingand evaluating models, and guiding them toward production. Beyond that, youmaintainand improve deployed models across their full lifecycle, from monitoring to continuous optimization.
About the Role
Prepare and process behavioral data for training models that detect malicious activity.
Build and evaluate prototypes, iterating on architectures and features until production-quality, on dedicated in-house GPU servers -enough computeto compete with the biggest players in the industry.
Deploy models into production and integrate them with existing detection and incident-handling pipelines.
Monitor,maintain, andoptimizedeployed models across their full lifecycle - from drift detection to retraining and performance tuning.
When opportunities arise, explore novel architectures beyond applying existing models.
Essential Requirements
Practical understanding of modernAI/ML methods - knowing which models fit which problems, when to use simpler approaches versus novel architectures, and how tooptimizethem for production.
Proficiencyin Python and itsAI/ML ecosystem.
Experience withAI/ML lifecycle tooling and infrastructure for production model serving and lifecycle management.
Ability to work independently and take full ownership of model development from start to finish.
