AI/ML Researcher (m/f/n)

As an AI Researcher, you explore, evaluate, and apply AI/ML methods to real-world cybersecurity problems — running experiments, building prototypes, and working with behavioral data. You work alongside senior researchers, gradually building independence on a clear path to becoming an experienced researcher. 

About the Role 

• Explore and evaluate AI/ML methods for real-world cybersecurity problems — running experiments, analyzing results, and comparing approaches. 

• Build and test prototypes using behavioral data, identifying what brings real value in cybersecurity.

• Apply existing models and approaches to threat detection, learning which methods work for which problems. 

• Work alongside senior researchers who guide your work while you gradually build independence and ownership. 

• Research novel architectures and approaches specific to the cybersecurity domain — contributing to work that pushes beyond applying existing models. 

Essential Requirements 

• University degree (Master's or higher) in Mathematics, Statistics, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related technical field. 

• Practical experience with machine learning — internships, professional work, academic research, or personal projects. 

• Proficiency in Python at a prototype level — able to build and test AI/ML models.

• Foundational understanding of machine learning methods — knowing which models fit which problems and how to evaluate approaches. 
• Strong drive for continuous learning and staying current with state-of-the-art research. 

Desirable Requirements 

• Basic understanding of computer and network security. 

• Experience with Big Data technologies. 

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure). 

Technologies 

Python, Scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, (My)SQL, MLflow, Git, JIRA, Confluence, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins 

Compensation 

Basic wage component (brutto): from 2400 EUR/m. (brutto)

• The final basic wage component can be increased accordingly to individual skills and experience of the selected candidate.

• Performance bonus 2 times per year up to 10% of the basic salary paid for the evaluation period (usually 6 months).
