Full Job Description

## Description About the Role At CloudWalk, our Security team doesn’t just react to threats; we engineer systems that anticipate and neutralize them before they ever reach our infrastructure. We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to build the intelligence layer of our edge defenses. You won’t just be tuning standard WAF rules or analyzing logs after the fact. You will design, train, and deploy machine learning models directly at the edge to detect anomalies, thwart intrusions, and block sophisticated attacks in real time. You will bridge the gap between security intelligence and massive-scale data science, turning raw network traffic into a proactive defense mechanism. You'll work alongside red teamers and security engineers, using their attack data to train models that make those exact attack classes obsolete. If you enjoy solving hard scaling problems, weaponizing AI for defense, and protecting billions of transactions, this role is for you. ## What You'll Do Build edge intelligence. Design and train machine learning models focused on anomaly detection, bot mitigation, and zero-day intrusion detection. Deploy at scale. Implement and optimize inference models to run efficiently at the edge, processing massive volumes of HTTP traffic with ultra-low latency. Turn attacks into data. Work closely with our offensive security engineers to understand attack vectors, simulate realistic threats, and generate high-quality datasets for model training. Automate the defense. Create robust data pipelines that continuously ingest traffic logs, monitor model performance, detect concept drift, and automate retraining based on the latest threat intelligence. ## What We're Looking For Fluency in Python and SQL, with deep proficiency in ML libraries like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-Learn. Experience deploying machine learning models into production, specifically dealing with high-throughput, low-latency requirements. Strong understanding of web security, HTTP protocols, an
