The Principal AI Developer will lead Arctic Wolf Labs in designing and deploying bespoke agentic workflows and fine-tuned machine learning and Generative AI models. This role focuses on building a scalable system that can collate security operations process data, fine tune AI models, and measure and guarantee quality of output across a global security operations team with diverse telemetry sources to support threat detection, investigation, and response. As a senior technical leader, you will architect frameworks that integrate operations process data and quality mechanisms with knowledge graphs and agentic workflows, enabling structured reasoning and automation in security operations. You will collaborate with security operations analysts, data scientists, platform engineers, and threat researchers to deliver production-grade solutions that enhance Arctic Wolf’s mission to end cyber risk. 

IN THIS ROLE, YOU’LL GET TO:

• Architect and lead the development of agentic workflows and fine-tuned models for the automation of new and existing security operations processes.  

• Establish ML and data pipelines for the training and deployment of fine-tuned generative AI and machine learning models.

• Work with security operations and other teams to measure, monitor, and evaluate AI quality and iteratively improve. 

• Define best practices for building secure, observable, and scalable AI systems in cloud-native environments. 

• Guide the evolution of Arctic Wolf Labs’ AI strategy, influencing product roadmaps and technical direction. 

• Mentor senior engineers and foster a culture of innovation and excellence across teams. 

• Stay ahead of emerging trends in entity resolution, knowledge graphs, and agentic AI.

• 10+ years of experience building intelligent systems, distributed platforms, or AI-enhanced applications. 

• 5+ years of experience leading technical teams and mentoring senior contributors. 

• Deep expertise in large scale production delivery of Generative AI 

• Experience with agentic frameworks (e.g., AgentCore, Amazon Bedrock, LangChain) and LLM integration. 

• Experience training and tuning AI models, including ongoing quality measurement and evaluation (LLM-as-judge) 

• Hands-on experience with knowledge graph technologies (e.g., Neptune, Neo4j, RDF/SPARQL, GraphQL). 

• Familiarity with cloud-native data services (AWS preferred) and data engineering tools (Spark, Flink, Kafka, Databricks). 

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and DevSecOps principles. 

• Exposure to cybersecurity concepts: threat detection, MITRE ATT&CK, telemetry, and adversarial behavior modeling. 

• Passion for building intelligent systems that solve real-world security challenges.
