Senior AI Software Engineer

Job Description Our client is embarking on a strategic initiative to modernize and scale its threat detection and threat-hunting capabilities. While an AI-powered solution already exists, the focus is now on transforming a research-oriented implementation into a resilient, enterprise-grade platform capable of operating efficiently in production environments. This position is ideal for a highly skilled software engineer who is passionate about building scalable systems, improving software quality, and optimizing AI-driven applications. The successful candidate will play a key role in developing an API-centric architecture, enhancing data processing pipelines, and ensuring efficient execution of AI workloads on specialized hardware. The role offers an excellent opportunity to contribute directly to advanced cyber defense initiatives while gaining further exposure to AI/ML operations, large-scale data processing, and GPU-accelerated computing. Key Responsibilities Modernize and refactor existing Python-based AI and machine learning components into maintainable, production-ready software solutions. Develop and optimize large-scale data ingestion, preprocessing, and feature engineering pipelines capable of processing high-volume security-related data streams. Design and implement an API-first architecture to ensure seamless integration with the broader Cyber Defense ecosystem. Facilitate the migration of legacy self-hosted data platforms toward modern cloud-native streaming and processing services. Improve application performance through hardware-aware optimizations, particularly for GPU-enabled environments requiring low-latency threat detection. Establish and maintain comprehensive quality assurance practices, including unit testing, integration testing, regression testing, and CI/CD automation. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance the scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency of AI-driven security solutions. Support the deployment and mainte
