What Youll Do
Lead and mentor a team of AI researchers, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation while overseeing the end-to-end research lifecycle.
You will act as the technical and strategic lead, defining team priorities, roadmap, and data science methodologies.
Mentor and grow team members through technical guidance, career development, and peer reviews.
Collaborate with cross-functional leadership in Product and Engineering to align research efforts with core business objectives and customer needs.
Manage team performance, resource allocation, and timely project delivery within an agile environment.
Develop, evaluate, and maintain deep learning and NLP solutions to enhance Cyeras core capabilities in sensitive data classification.
Design and architect production-grade agentic workflows. Establish rigorous evaluation pipelines to benchmark agent accuracy, latency, and cost, ensuring reliable, scalable solutions for real-world customer problems
Innovation and creative thinking are the keys! Implementing ML models to the entire research process – clustering, text extraction, document analysis, and tabular data classification.
Join a full stack AI group, including research engineering, MLEs, data operations, and security researchers. You will accelerate the path from research to production, ensuring results are both quick and precise.
BSc in computer science, math, physics, or a related field
7+ years of experience as an AI Researcher/NLP Researcher/Applied Scientist, including experience leading or managing research teams
Proven track record of building and managing high-performing AI research / Data Science teams.
Solid grounding in core machine and deep learning concepts and techniques, data challenges (imbalance, scaling etc.), and evaluation.
Demonstrated expertise in applying LLMs – prompt engineering and prompt tuning (few-shot, chain-of-thought, tool/function calling, routing), task adaptation (instruction/SFT, PEFT/LoRA, DPO/RLHF), retrieval-augmented generation, rigorous evaluation and production deployment with appropriate safety, latency, and cost controls.
Self-learner, initiator, able to quickly learn new technologies
Experience in NLP – a significant advantage
