You'll also play a foundational role in shaping our research roadmap and engineering culture as an early member of the AI team.
What You'll Do Design and build new AI agents to automate key security operations Refine and retrain existing agents to improve precision, recall, and long-term autonomy Build performance evaluation pipelines and metrics frameworks for agent benchmarking Implement advanced reinforcement learning algorithms to drive decision-making and reduce task-specific specialization Track and evaluate emerging AI research with an eye for pragmatic implementation Contribute across the software stack as needed, this is a hybrid research-engineering role
What We're Looking For Proven research experience, academic, open-source, or startup Strong programming skills in Python, PyTorch, and TypeScript Deep understanding of LLMs, transformers, and generative modelling Familiarity with reinforcement learning algorithms (preferred) Startup mindset: resourceful, ownership-driven, and excited to work long hours building something that matters
Bonus: 4+ years of engineering in a production setting Why Alaris At Alaris , we're not just applying AI to cyber security, we're rethinking the entire defensive architecture. This is a unique opportunity to build the intelligence behind autonomous cyber systems, at a time when the need for speed, precision, and scale has never been greater. You'll work alongside a high-caliber team, move fast, conduct research, and implement that research in production environments. If you want to bridge the gap from research to real-world impact, this is your moment.

About Alaris Security
The Alaris Enterprise Platform is a unified command center for security teams. It brings together an Autonomous SOC, Endpoint Detection & Response, Cloud Detection & Response, a GRC Center, an Agent Framework, and a Security Data Graph, all connected, all autonomous. Instead of bolting together dozens of point solutions, teams get a single platform where AI agents handle the full lifecycle of a threat, from initial detection through investigation, response, and reporting.
