Working together with cyber analysts, data engineers, modelers, and product managers 



What we are looking for:

Master’s or PhD degree in a quantitative field (e.g. CS, Statistics, Sciences, Engineering, Economics)
6+ years of solid statistics and predictive modeling foundations
Experience in data analysis, feature engineering, data visualization and hypotheses testing
Experience working different types of datasets (e.g. unstructured, semi-structured, with missing information)
