Senior ML Engineer - Malware Detection

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior ML Engineer - Malware Detection based remotely in Ireland.

The Senior ML Engineer will develop and deploy advanced machine learning solutions to detect web-based malware across large-scale Linux hosting environments. Working with an extensive dataset of real-world malware samples, analyst decisions, detection rules, and cleanup outcomes, you will transform production intelligence into more accurate and efficient security systems. Your work will span classical machine learning, transformer models, LLM-assisted triage, and automated signature generation. You will own the journey from raw data and experimentation to production deployment, with success measured by real detection improvements and controlled false-positive rates. Collaborating closely with malware analysts, infrastructure specialists, and fellow ML engineers, you will have access to dedicated GPU resources and modern AI-assisted development tools. This remote-first opportunity is ideal for an experienced ML practitioner who thrives on experimentation, rigorous evaluation, and delivering measurable cybersecurity impact.
