Sr. Machine Learning Engineer

By making evidence the heart of security, we help customers stay ahead of ever-changing cyber-attacks. 

Corelight is a cybersecurity company that transforms network and cloud activity into evidence.  Evidence that elite defenders use to proactively hunt for threats, accelerate response to cyber incidents, gain complete network visibility and create powerful analytics using machine-learning and behavioral analysis tools.  Easily deployed, and available in traditional and SaaS-based formats, Corelight is the fastest-growing Network Detection and Response (NDR) platform in the industry.  And we are the only NDR platform that leverages the power of Open Source projects in addition to our own technology to deliver Intrusion Detection (IDS), Network Security Monitoring (NSM), and Smart PCAP solutions.  We sell to some of the most sensitive, mission critical large enterprises and government agencies in the world.

We are building a world class and uniquely targeted team to drive research through data science and security expertise. The ideal candidate will use their strong analytic skills and awareness of network and cloud security data to drive novel, durable, and effective threat detection.  Corelight can define the data our sensors generate, you will have the opportunity to contribute to how we extend the data itself to enable new types of analysis as
needed. You will be able to look back a year from now and say two things with pride: first, “I helped to build that.” and second, “We are generating insights that no one else in the world has achieved.”

As a Sr. Machine Learning Engineer within Corelight Labs, you will work closely with data scientists and network security experts to explore, design, build and deliver machine learning solutions for challenging network security problems. You will play a crucial role in the exploration and development of full scope AI capabilities powering our product offerings.
