Staff Data Scientist (Armis/VMDR)

About the role

ServiceNow's Armis protects the entire attack surface and manages cyber risk exposure in real time, and its VMDR platform uses machine learning and generative AI for vulnerability management, detection and remediation. The company is looking for a Staff Data Scientist with strong machine learning foundations and practical enterprise experience to join the VMDR team. You will own complex problem domains end-to-end, from research to scalable production deployment.

Key responsibilities

• Drive complex AI and ML initiatives through the full product lifecycle, from early-stage prototyping and domain analysis to production deployment and monitoring.
• Design and build production-ready AI models and system pipelines in Python using modern cloud and big data infrastructure (AWS, Spark).
• Integrate Generative AI and LLM workflows into core VMDR features to drive automated detection, prioritization and remediation insights.
• Partner with domain researchers, data engineers and product leaders to turn complex security problems into high-impact AI solutions.

Required profile

• At least 2 years of hands-on experience with Large Language Models, including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG, agentic workflows and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, vLLM or similar.
• Solid machine learning foundations, supported by an academic degree (M.Sc. or Ph.D. preferred) or equivalent research experience.
• 5+ years of software development experience, with strong production-grade Python and experience deploying ML systems at scale.
• Cybersecurity background (Vulnerability Management, Asset Intelligence or Threat Detection) is a big advantage but not mandatory.
• A self-driven, collaborative person who takes full ownership of problem domains and keeps up with emerging AI trends.
