Frontier Research AI Scientist

Role Description

We are seeking a scientist with depth and breadth of knowledge of AI/ML algorithms, advanced statistical modeling and applied mathematics. A problem solver, who will lead state-of-the-art research and development by incorporating and advancing current SOTA models/approaches. Should have ability to think outside of the box, combine multiple different techniques to solve problems, invent frameworks and theoretical grounding. Passionate about security. In most cases, projects will amount to developing novel AI workflow and models for solving Ent’s problems.

Qualifications

• PhD, postdoc experience or equivalent
• Worked on frontier, complex academic science projects with proven results (publications, code, talks etc.)
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML that required to develop new approach or algorithm, not just re-use of the standard off-the-shelf models.
• Proven record to deliver results in industry settings: actual working solutions, patents, experience in start-ups.

Benefits

• Distributed workplace: While we have positions we hire for in our SF office, we also hire remotely across North America.
• Own a piece of the journey: Every teammate gets meaningful equity on top of their salary.
• We’ve got you covered: 90% of your medical, dental, and vision is paid by Ent. We also cover 75% for your dependents.

• Set up your space: A $500 home office stipend when you join as a remote employee.

Company Description

Ent is the intent-aware workspace security platform for securing human and AI-driven work. Built to protect productivity, the new attack surface, Ent understands not just what users and agents do but why, and intervenes at the moment of risk before incidents occur. Where existing tools see events, Ent sees intent, so security teams can step in at the moment of risk instead of investigating days later.

Founded by Lou Manousos and Brandon Dixon, co-founders of RiskIQ (acquired by Microsoft) and the team behind Microsoft Security Copilot, Ent is in production with Global 2000 customers across hospitality, financial services, and defense, and backed by Decibel, Sequoia, Crosspoint Capital, Craft Ventures, Shield Capital, Felicis, and In-Q-Tel.
