WHY JOIN US
If you're looking for a place to grow, make an impact, and work with people who care, we'd love to meet you!
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior/Lead Data Scientist to develop predictive models and quantitative analytics that power risk-based vulnerability prioritization within a large-scale enterprise security program. You will structure and analyze massive security telemetry datasets, build ML algorithms to eliminate scanning noise and false positives, and establish unified data dashboards to drive adoption of data-driven security governance. The role requires 6+ years of data science experience applied specifically to cybersecurity, vulnerability management, or financial risk models.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Develop predictive models and quantitative analytics to prioritize vulnerabilities based on contextual risk and business impact;
- Structure and analyze massive outputs of security data from across the enterprise ecosystem to support the ASPM framework;
- Create machine learning algorithms or statistical models to automatically identify and filter out scanning noise and false positives;
- Establish a unified data delivery structure and dashboards to drive the adoption of data-driven security governance.
MUST HAVES
- You must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the US (e.g., Green card holders, TN visa holders, GC EAD, H4 EAD, U4U with EAD), as we are unable to sponsor or take over employment visa sponsorship at this time;
- 6+ years of commercial data science experience, operating completely autonomously with no required supervision;
- Advanced proficiency in Python, R, and SQL;
- Experience with machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and data visualization tools;
- Prior commercial experience applying data science specifically to cybersecurity, vulnerability management, or financial risk models;
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Familiarity with Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) data outputs (e.g., Wiz).
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
- Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
- Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
- Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
