The Role

As an AI Engineer, you'll develop and optimize LLMs, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to enhance detection engineering capabilities and drive new AI initiatives.

Summary Generated by Built In

Build the AI that makes detection engineers 10x more effective. Create cutting-edge LLM research to power our detection engineering community.

At Detections.ai, we're on a mission to 10x detection engineers. Security teams today are drowning in noisy tools and patchwork workflows. We're changing that—by building intuitive, AI-powered experiences that streamline how detection engineers write, test, and manage detections.

We combine deep expertise in cybersecurity, real-time systems, and applied AI to rethink how detection work gets done—from the ground up. Our team thrives on ownership, speed, and building for real users.

What You'll Do

We're looking for an AI LLM Engineer to drive the development and optimization of large language models that power our intelligent detection engineering products. You'll research, design, and implement cutting-edge LLM capabilities—from retrieval-augmented generation to agentic workflows—bringing AI into the critical path of security operations.

You'll:

Implement, fine-tune, and optimize state-of-the-art LLMs for performance, accuracy, and security use cases
Design and evaluate prompting strategies, flows, and application logic for LLM-powered features
Build and integrate advanced capabilities such as RAG, function calling, and code interpreter technologies
Design and deploy scalable ML pipelines for both batch and real-time use cases
Collaborate closely with ML engineers, product teams, and detection engineers to align AI capabilities with business goals
Lead the incubation of new AI initiatives and drive strategic technology choices in a microservices architecture
Stay current with the latest research in LLMs, agents, and large-scale training methods, applying insights directly into production systems
Document methodologies, models, and results to share across the team and company

You're a fit if you:

Have 5+ years of experience in NLP, machine learning, or data science
Are strong in Python (R is a plus) and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow)
Have hands-on experience building, testing, and deploying LLMs such as GPT-4, Gemini, or similar
Understand model training techniques, including data/model parallelism and distributed training
Are comfortable with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS or GCP) and distributed computing
Have experience with DevOps/MLOps/LLMOps practices
Thrive in a high-context, low-process environment

You'll stand out if you:

Hold a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, AI, or related fields
Have experience building GenAI solutions using RAG frameworks or LLM agentic applications
Bring direct experience applying AI in cybersecurity workflows
Have strong research-to-production skills, bridging advanced ML concepts into deployable systems

Our Stack

Frontend: React.js, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript
Middle layer: Node.js, TypeScript
Backend: Python (FastAPI)
Infra & DevOps: AWS, GCP, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions
