Key Responsibilities

1. Model Development & Optimization (Training & Fine-tuning):

• Research to Production: Collaborate with the Security Research Team to operationalize new threat detection techniques. They identify the "what" (e.g., new prompt injection patterns); you determine the "how" (model architecture, training strategy). 
• Fine-tuning & Adaptation: Lead the fine-tuning of Language Models (e.g., using LoRA/PEFT) to optimize for our supported muti-lingual languages and specific security intents.
• Multimodal Readiness: Prepare the system for Multimodal (Text + Image/Audio) capabilities. Evaluate and implement models to detect visual prompt injections and non-textual threats as the product evolves. 

2. MLOps& Data Infrastructure: 

• Enhance & Scale MLOps: Take ownership of our existing ML pipelines. Focus on optimizing and scaling CI/CD/CT workflows to improve training efficiency and deployment velocity. 
• Data Governance: Implement and enforce rigorous Data Versioning strategies (e.g., DVC) to ensure complete reproducibility of model artifacts and datasets.
• Monitoring & Reliability: Maintain rigorous monitoring for model drift and performance, ensuring high reliability in a production security environment.

3. Cross-Functional Implementation & Leadership:

• Platform Collaboration: Work closely with the Platform Engineering Team to integrate ML models into the broader product architecture. Ensure seamless interaction between model inference services and the main platform logic. 
• Team Leadership: Lead and mentor Machine Learning Engineers, fostering a culture of engineering rigor, code quality, and operational excellence.
• Resource Management: Manage GPU resources and compute budgets effectively for both training and inference workloads. 

4. Technical Strategy & Stakeholder Management:

• Translating Tech to Business: Act as the technical voice of the ML team. You must effectively explain complex ML concepts (e.g., FLOPS, quantization trade-offs, model latency vs. accuracy) to executive leadership and clients. 
• Cost-Benefit Analysis: Justify compute resource investments. Articulate the trade-off between infrastructure costs (GPU hours) and performance gains to non-technical stakeholders. 

Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years in Machine Learning Engineering, with specific experience in leading technical projects or mentoring engineers.
• Communication & Business Acumen: Exceptional ability to distill complex technical topics (e.g., compute complexity, infrastructure costs) into clear, business-relevant insights for decision-makers.
• MLOps Proficiency: Proven experience in optimizing ML pipelines and infrastructure. Familiarity with tools like MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, and Data Versioning tools (DVC, etc.).
• Engineering First: Proficient in Python, Docker, and Kubernetes. You treat ML models as software artifacts that need testing and version control.
• NLP & LLM Expertise: Experience with Transformer architectures, Embeddings, and LLM fine-tuning. Familiarity with frameworks like PyTorch, Hugging Face, and vLLM.
