## Description

We are looking for an Applied AI Scientist Architect to take product ideas from 0 to 1 and define how we do new AI product innovation. You'll have a lot of independence: you set the technical direction for AI, and experiment fast with minimal process. With that comes real ownership: you'll be the first AI/ML person in the team, so you'll often be figuring it out without a research org behind you. This is a hands-on role. Publishing papers and open sourcing results might happen as it helps us and the industry, but is not our main goal.

We have a lot to teach you about security, auth, developer products and many other things. And we also want to learn from you. Join us to have fun learning and collaborating with a great group of people, while having the opportunity to shape a huge industry.

What you'll be doing

We are looking for someone that both wants to be hands on and think about the industry big picture at the same time:

 * Model and solve auth and security related problems using AI/ML, through deep understanding of the inner workings and customer challenges
 * Lead end-to-end model development. Apply the right paradigm for the problem, e.g.: training traditional ML models from scratch, or fine-tuning and aligning small/large language models
 * Create and maintain evaluation and training datasets and workflows
 * Take ideas from research through prototype and product recommendation
 * Evaluate outcomes across quality, security, latency, and cost
