About the role

  • Security Data Scientist / ML Engineer deploying machine learning systems for AI-driven security solutions at Salesforce. Collaborating with teams to design and operationalize models that enhance real-time threat detection.

Responsibilities

  • Build and deploy intelligent, data-driven systems that utilize machine learning and AI agents to enable real-time attack pattern identification, risk assessment, and proactive defense across Salesforce products and global infrastructure.
  • Lead the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and autonomous agents with security data pipelines.
  • Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle—including development, release, monitoring, and operation—of ML models and AI agents to ensure they deliver high-impact protection at scale.
  • Develop autonomous AI agents capable of executing complex security tasks, such as performing advanced data correlations, identifying specific attack patterns, conducting automated penetration testing, and analyzing security impacts.
  • Engineer platforms that synthesize large-scale security telemetry into actionable risk intelligence and automated decisions.
  • Partner closely with security engineers, infrastructure teams, and product stakeholders to deeply understand the threat landscape and design solutions that address high-priority security problems.
  • Apply LLMs and prompt engineering to automate generation of security insights, explanations, and response workflows from detections and anomalies.
  • Continuously improve algorithmic performance with a focus on detection, classification, and behavioral modeling in security and threat intelligence domains.
  • Collaborate effectively with team members and suggest improvements to reduce time-to-detection and mature our security ML platform.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of industry experience with a demonstrated passion for crafting, analyzing, and deploying scalable machine learning solutions.
  • Proven track record in machine learning engineering focused on security use cases, such as anomaly detection, malware classification, or behavioral modeling.
  • Experience deploying, monitoring, and maintaining ML systems in cloud environments (specifically AWS or GCP).
  • Consistent record of building ML products using modern lifecycle methodologies, including CI/CD, QA, and Agile practices.
  • Expert-level proficiency in writing high-quality, well-documented, and tested code, with a strong preference for Python.
  • Solid understanding of data transformations and analytics using libraries and languages such as Pandas, Scikit-learn, SQL, and Spark.
  • Hands-on experience with standard ML and orchestration tools like mlFlow, Airflow, and Docker.
