Minimum qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Security, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

- 8 years of experience in security engineering, CTI, or security data analysis, and software development in Python, Go, or C++.

- Experience in CTI, threat actor tracking, malware analysis, or threat hunting, and modeling and analyzing security datasets.

Preferred qualifications:

- Extensive experience working directly with or embedded alongside front-line threat intelligence and reverse engineering teams to operationalize adversary tradecraft into structured datasets and automated tooling.

- Experience building and scaling ground-truth evaluation datasets, trajectory grading pipelines, and agentic benchmarking frameworks.

- Experience analytically owning large-scale data layers, data quality pipelines, or evaluation/benchmarking frameworks for AI/ML systems, LLMs, or autonomous agents.

- Deep expertise in graph analytics, knowledge graphs, clustering, embeddings, and petabyte-scale data processing engines (e.g., BigQuery, Cloud Spanner, distributed data pipelines) applied to threat intelligence corpora.

- Take end-to-end ownership of the GTI Agentic data layer, defining the technical strategy, architecture, and governance for curating and structuring multi-modal security datasets across Google Threat Intelligence.
