Do you want to help make the world safe from cyber attack? 

At Corelight, we believe that the best approach to cybersecurity risk starts with the network.  Attackers can evade endpoint detection, firewalls and many other technologies - but they can’t avoid leaving digital footprints on the networks they traverse.  Built on open-source innovations from Zeek, Suricata and YARA and refined through years of real-world use,  Corelight transforms network footprints from physical, virtual and cloud networks into actionable insights.   Our customers use these insights to speed incident response and proactively hunt for threats.  

We are building a world class and uniquely targeted team to drive research through data science and security expertise. The ideal candidate will use their strong analytic skills and awareness of network and cloud security data to drive novel, durable, and effective threat detection.  Corelight can define the data our sensors generate, you will have the opportunity to contribute to how we extend the data itself to enable new types of analysis as
needed. You will be able to look back a year from now and say two things with pride: first, “I helped to build that.” and second, “We are generating insights that no one else in the world has achieved.”

As a Machine Learning Engineer within Corelight Labs, you will work closely with data scientists and network security experts to explore, design, build and deliver machine learning solutions for challenging network security problems. You will play a crucial role in the exploration and development of the ML capabilities powering our product offerings.
