Job Summary

(A brief overview of the role, its purpose, and key responsibilities.)

The Data Scientist will be responsible for analyzing data, building machine learning models, and generating insights to support cybersecurity and product use cases. The role involves data preprocessing, feature engineering, model development, model evaluation, and working with engineering teams to integrate ML outputs into applications, dashboards, or workflows.

The candidate should have hands-on experience in Python, SQL, machine learning techniques, data analysis, and basic MLOps concepts. Experience in cybersecurity analytics, anomaly detection, user behavior analytics, or AI/ML-based product development will be an added advantage.

Job Responsibilities

(The key tasks and duties you will be expected to perform in this role.)

· Understand business and product requirements and convert them into data analysis or machine learning tasks.

· Collect, clean, preprocess, and analyze structured and unstructured datasets from different sources.

· Perform exploratory data analysis to identify trends, patterns, anomalies, and useful insights.

· Build and validate machine learning models for classification, prediction, clustering, anomaly detection, and risk scoring use cases.

· Perform feature engineering to improve model accuracy and business relevance.

· Evaluate model performance using suitable metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and false positive rate.

· Work with engineering teams to integrate ML models or analytical outputs into products, APIs, reports, or dashboards.

· Support model deployment, monitoring, retraining, and performance tracking using basic MLOps practices.

· Prepare reports, visualizations, and documentation to communicate findings and model outcomes.

· Collaborate with product, engineering, security, and data teams to deliver practical data-driven solutions.

· Maintain proper documentation for datasets, model logic, assumptions, evaluation results, and limitations.

· Continuously learn and apply relevant AI/ML techniques, tools, and frameworks based on project needs.

· Strong communication, troubleshooting, co-ordination and interpersonal skill

Must Have Skills
(The essential skills and expertise required to succeed in this role.)

· Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or equivalent.
