Data Scientist, Security Issue Management

Job :  |  Services LLC

Are you interested in building Agentic AI solutions that solve complex builder experience challenges with significant global impact? The Security Tooling team designs and builds high-performance AI systems using LLMs and machine learning that identify builder bottlenecks, automate security workflows, and optimize the software development lifecycle—empowering engineering teams worldwide to ship secure code faster while maintaining the highest security standards.

As a Data Scientist on our Security Tooling team, you will focus on building state-of-the-art ML models to enhance builder experience and productivity. You will identify builder bottlenecks and pain points across the software development lifecycle, design and apply experiments to study developer behavior, and measure the downstream impacts of security tooling on engineering velocity and code quality. Our team rewards curiosity while maintaining a laser-focus on bringing products to market that empower builders while maintaining security excellence.

Competitive candidates are responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within an open, collaborative, entrepreneurial, startup-like environment. At the forefront of both academic and applied research in builder experience and security automation, you have the opportunity to work together with a diverse and talented team of scientists, engineers, and product managers and collaborate with other teams. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on projects that could fundamentally transform how builders interact with security tools and how organizations balance security requirements with developer productivity.
