The Role

Would you like to apply cutting edge data science techniques to help protect the world against cyber threats? At Proofpoint, we work with unique data sets and craft peta byte scale solutions to help protect some of the most targeted people especially in fortune 500 companies. One of the things that makes our problem space so challenging is that dynamic nature of the threat landscape. We need to outsmart the threat actors and be two steps ahead of the game. This is where static rule based systems can’t keep up with the sheer number of threat features we deal with and we need smarter machine learning solutions to help tackle the problem. As a member of our team, you will be part of the design and development of new game changing solutions that would have a real impact on the next generation security solutions at Proofpoint.
