- 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.
