This is an excellent role for a technically strong engineer with applied ML experience who wants to contribute to real-world cybersecurity products and grow into a senior AI engineer or team lead.

What You’ll Do

AI Application Development

Develop backend logic for AI-driven security features, such as automated TARA workflows and threat detection agents.
Build and maintain inference pipelines using LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Cohere, etc.).
Write prompts and fine-tune model inputs to align with security analysis tasks.
Work on AI-based decision trees and reasoning engines for compliance enforcement.

System Integration & Backend Engineering

Integrate AI modules into FS's broader application stack (APIs, databases, security tools).
Build clean, reusable code for model orchestration, pre/post-processing, and storage.
Collaborate with frontend developers on model UI and results visualization.
Participate in code reviews, testing, and deployment planning.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Pair with security researchers and data engineers to align on logic and datasets.
Support product releases by maintaining technical documentation and internal demos.
Contribute to internal tools for benchmarking, model monitoring, or prompt management.

What We’re Looking for

2–4 years of experience in backend or full-stack software development.
Proficiency in Python, with experience using ML/NLP frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Transformers, OpenAI API).
Solid understanding of API design, microservices, and RESTful service development.
Experience deploying ML models into production workflows.
Familiarity with Git, Docker, and CI/CD workflows.

Experience working on AI or automation in security, DevSecOps, or compliance.
Exposure to basic cybersecurity principles, SBOM, or threat modeling.
Knowledge of graph databases or reasoning over security metadata.
Interest in growing toward technical leadership or product ownership.
