Staff Machine Learning Scientist, Netskope AI Labs
Taipei, TaiwanFull-TimeStaffAI / Data Science
About Netskope
- Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security.
Please note, this team is hiring across all levels and candidates are individually assessed and appropriately leveled based upon their skills and experience.
- Within Netskope Engineering, the Netskope AI Labs is responsible for advancing state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technology to power the Netskope Intelligent Security Service Edge (SSE) security platform. Leveraging our expertise in AI/ML and security, we are developing large-scale AI/ML solutions for SSE. For example, we are integrating the latest AI/ML technology into our data security and threat protection features, as well as business operations.
What’s in it for you
- We are looking for a talented and motivated machine learning scientist to join our team. A successful candidate has deep technical expertise in applying AI/ML technologies in security applications and/or adjacent domains, and must be passionate about cloud security and AI security.
