Applied Data Scientist Expert

The role

You will lead applied research on AI agents and LLM-driven features in the Wiz platform, from autonomous threat investigation agents to AI-powered security operations workflows. You will work with engineering, Security Research and Product teams to design, build, evaluate and maintain production AI systems.

What you will do

• Lead applied research on AI agents and LLM-driven features in the Wiz platform.
• Cover features from using LLMs to improve customer investigation experience to new uses of AI for cloud security.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to design, build and maintain production pipelines.
• Work with the Security Research and Product teams to define research goals.
• Conduct experiments and evaluate AI models, algorithms and techniques on real-world datasets and simulated environments.
• Stay current with AI methods, frameworks and tools and apply them to improve accuracy, efficiency and scalability of security solutions.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in applied Data Science and AI engineering.
• Significant hands-on work building LLM-based applications or AI agents.
• Deep practical experience with LLMs, including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model selection and trade-offs across providers and model families.
• Hands-on experience building autonomous agent architectures (e.g., LangGraph, multi-agent workflows, tool-calling, state machines).
• Experience implementing rigorous evaluation frameworks (Evals, LLM-as-a-judge, benchmark suites).
• Knowledge of Python or other programming languages used in AI research.
• Experience with AI frameworks (e.g., Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenAI, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) and ability to deliver production-ready code.
• An M.S. or Ph.D. in computer science, statistics or a related field, or equivalent work experience.

Nice to have

• Experience in cybersecurity, such as cloud security, threat detection, investigation or network telemetry.
• Experience with distributed cloud systems and cloud-native architectures at scale.
• Strong knowledge of deep learning models and common architectures such as transformers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment and find creative solutions to challenging problems.

Before you apply

• You must have the legal right to work in the country where the position is based.
