Your Career

Detecting security breaches through data analytics is a challenging problem, and has huge potential. You are a talented and passionate Data Scientist who wants to make an impact by pushing both the field of data science and cyber security forward. From day one, you have to be able to roll up your sleeves and hit the ground running, and bring all of your security and data science experience to the team to develop innovative security analytics. Most importantly, you have a positive, “can ­do” attitude and a passion for delivering technical solutions in a fast-paced environment.

  • Experience successfully applying supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods with an emphasis on anomaly detection.
  • Significant experience in Scala or Python.
  • Have successfully deployed or worked with teams to deploy machine learning models to production.
  • Passion for tackling difficult problems and delivering proven results.

Desired Skills

  • Working knowledge of cloud APIs (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform, etc.).
  • Advanced competency with Spark, relational SQL (including window functions, recursion, etc.), and MemSQL.
  • Basic understanding of distributed queues.
  • Experience using big-data search ingestion, storage and indexing.

The Team

The Public Cloud Security team is responsible for building products that protect data, workloads and infrastructure for some of the largest enterprise customers in the world. We help the customers in their journey to the public cloud by ensuring they have the best in class protection. The public cloud market has been growing at a very rapid rate for the last few years. As more and more enterprises use the public cloud, there is an insatiable demand for securing workloads in the public cloud. With the recent acquisition of two leading companies in this space - RedLock and Evident.io, Palo Alto Networks is now the market leader.

Our Commitment

We’re trailblazers that dream big, take risks, and challenge cybersecurity’s status quo. It’s simple: we can’t accomplish our mission without diverse teams innovating, together.
