About the role
We are looking for a Technical Lead to drive the development of Obsidian's core ontology that powers our groundbreaking unified security config analysis, AI security, and threat detection product.
What you'll bring
- 6+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or applied research
- Expert-level proficiency in Python and modern ML/data tooling.
- Working knowledge of core security domains, or a strong ability to learn.
- Experience formulating fuzzy business or security problems as concrete ML/data problems:
- able to decompose ambiguous, ambitious problems into well-scoped subproblems and design experiments with statistical rigor.
- comfortable being scrappy and diving deep into vendor documentation, APIs, and audit logs to find the necessary data sources
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- ability to engage credibly with technical security practitioners at large enterprises.
- A track record of shipping production ML or data systems at scale — ideally systems involving ontologies, knowledge graphs, entity resolution, or semantics over heterogeneous data sources.
- preferably with 2+ years in a technical leadership role.
