About the role

The Staff AI Developer will lead the design and development of agentic workflows and machine learning / Generative AI models within Arctic Wolf Labs. This role focuses on providing technical direction for the team in building scalable systems that collate security operations process data, train and fine-tune AI models, and measure quality of output across a global security operations team. You will architect and implement solutions that integrate operations process data 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.

As a Staff AI Developer at Arctic Wolf, you will:

• Lead the design and implementation of agentic workflows and fine-tuned models for the automation of security operations processes.

• Provide technical direction and guidance to a team of ML engineers and developers through the design, implementation, and testing of AI/ML systems.

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

• Design systems to unify and correlate data across heterogeneous sources using rule-based, probabilistic, and ML-based approaches.

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

• Determine methods and procedures on new assignments, exercising judgment in selecting approaches and evaluation criteria for obtaining results.

• Develop trusted cross-team relationships to deliver solutions that span multiple areas of expertise.

• Mentor engineers and emerging technical leaders on the team, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.

• Stay current with emerging trends in machine learning, knowledge graphs, and agentic AI.

We’re looking for someone with:

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

• 2+ years of experience providing technical direction to a team or leading technical projects.

• Strong expertise in production delivery of Generative AI or machine learning systems.

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

• Experience training and tuning AI models, including quality measurement and evaluation (e.g., 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.
