Job Summary
In this role, you develop AI and LLM-based security solutions, integrate local models, automate cybersecurity processes, and optimize interfaces to enhance our security operations.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- AI & LLM Engineering: You develop and implement AI- and LLM-based solutions for our internal processes in the Security Operations Center. Your focus is on the integration and operation of Large Language Models, designing autonomous AI agents, and utilizing modern agentic frameworks/harnesses (e.g., pi-agent).
- Local AI Infrastructure: Together with the team, you will manage and operate our local AI infrastructure and hardware - currently on Apple Mac servers with tools such as Open WebUI, llama.cpp, and vLLM, and in the future on an additional high-end Nvidia server.
- AI Integration & Automation: You develop interfaces and automations to integrate AI agents and LLM solutions into existing systems, processes, and security workflows. This includes developing custom applications and scripts in Python and connecting security tools via APIs and protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Local Models & Optimization: You work with local AI models (e.g., Qwen, GLM, Gemma), including selection, deployment, benchmarking, as well as targeted fine-tuning and optimization for our use cases.
- Security Automation & SOAR: An equally central part of your role is Security Automation. You develop and optimize automations for cybersecurity processes and create playbooks as well as integrations with Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR.
- Further development: You monitor new developments in the fields of AI, LLMs, and Security Automation and actively contribute new technologies, tools, and ideas to our technical advancement.
