Job Description:
Who We Are
The Cisco Security AI team delivers AI products and platform for
all Cisco Secure products and portfolios so businesses around the
world can defend against threats and safeguard the most vital
aspects of their business with security resilience. We are
passionate about making our customers secure by simplifying
security with zero compromise using AI and Machine Learning.
Who You Are
You are a passionate software engineer with a proven track record
of successfully developing and implementing models that address
real-world problems. You will be proficient in the following
areas:
Problem-Specific Model Customization : Experience adapting neural
network architectures like GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks),
Autoencoders, Attention Mechanisms, and Transformers or developing
novel architectures to address unique challenges in different
domains (e.g., NLP, computer vision, time series analysis).
Handling High-Dimensional Data : Experience in managing and
extracting useful patterns from high-dimensional data spaces, using
techniques like dimensionality reduction or specialized network
architectures.
Proficiency in NLP and LLM: Including experience with BERT, GPT, or
similar, to effectively derive insights from structured and/or
unstructured text data. Building custom real-world production NLP
models for tasks like text generation or text summarization is a
strong plus.
Innovative Solution Development : Ability to apply deep learning
techniques innovatively to solve complex problems, often combining
domain knowledge (from cybersecurity or other domains) and
out-of-the-box thinking.
Model Scalability and Efficiency : Expertise in developing models
that can be deployed in different environments, including
understanding trade-offs between model complexity and
performance.
Continuous Learning and Adaptation : Commitment to staying abreast
of the latest research and trends in deep learning, continually
integrating new findings and techniques into problem-solving
approaches.
What You Will Do
In this role, you will tackle some of the most challenging issues
facing businesses today. You will do this through:
Model Development: Develop and implement advanced ML models and
algorithms to tackle security problems, including threat detection,
anomaly detection, and risk assessment.
Model Training and Evaluation: Lead the training, validation, and
fine-tuning ML models using current techniques and libraries.
Define and track security-specific metrics for model
performance.
Solution Development: Build robust software systems to integrate,
deploy, and maintain advanced ML models in production environments.
This includes developing and optimizing software frameworks,
ensuring seamless model integration, and rigorously testing systems
to maintain high reliability and performance standards.
Deployment Strategy: Collaborate with software engineering teams to
design and implement deployment strategies for models into security
systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and efficiency.
Documentation and Best Practices: Establish an effective process
for machine learning and security operations, and maintain clear
documentation of models, data pipelines, and security
procedures.

Canada:
When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects
the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S.
and/or Canada locations, not including equity or benefits. For
non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only;
employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring
ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation
target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring
location and additional factors, including but not limited to
skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or
training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range
based on their U.S. or Canada hiring location. The recruiter can
share more details about compensation for the role in your location
during the hiring process.
U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision
insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short
and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and
numerous wellbeing offerings. Employees receive up to twelve paid
holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday,
plus a day off for their birthday. Employees accrue up to 20 days
of Paid Time Off (PTO) each year and have access to paid time away
to deal with critical or emergency issues without tapping into
their PTO. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back
to the community. Employees are also able to purchase company stock
through our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on
top of their base salary, which is split between quota and
non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco
typically pays as follows:
.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to
50% of quota;
1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and
75%;
1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and
100%; and once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates
are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on
incentive compensation.
For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic
sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales
plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales
incentive compensation to be paid.
