• Create interactive dashboards and visualizations (Power BI, Tableau, or similar) to communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Prepare and present analytical reports summarizing methods, findings, and recommendations.

Qualifications: Required:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Computer Science, or related field.
• Strong proficiency in Python and libraries such as spaCy, NLTK, Hugging Face Transformers, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
• 8-10 years of experience building, training, and deploying NLP models in production environments.
• Strong knowledge of data engineering concepts: ETL processes, SQL/NoSQL databases, and data pipeline tools (e.g., Apache Spark, Airflow).
• Solid understanding of machine learning methods and predictive modeling.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Need to be a US citizen.

Preferred:

• Experience working with cybersecurity datasets (e.g., CVE data, threat intelligence feeds, log analysis).
• Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK, NIST).
