Job description

At Weights & Biases, our mission is to build the best tools for AI developers. We founded our company on the insight that while there were excellent tools for developers to build better code, there were no similarly great tools to help ML practitioners build better models. Starting with our first experiment tracking product, we have since expanded our solution into a comprehensive AI developer platform for organizations focused on building their own deep learning models and generative AI applications.

Weights & Biases is a Series C company with $250M in funding and over 200 employees. We proudly serve over 1,000 customers and more than 30 foundation model builders including customers such as OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Toyota.

Experience:2+ years of experience in a security analyst, security operations center (SOC), or penetration testing role.Experience with security tools such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, EDR, and firewalls.Strong understanding of network protocols, operating systems (Linux, Windows), and cloud security (AWS, GCP, Azure).
