Are you driven to conduct rapid experiments with the latest in artificial intelligence?
At Corelight, we hold a firm conviction that a robust cybersecurity posture begins with the network. While adversaries may bypass endpoint detection, firewalls, and other security layers, they cannot erase their digital footprints on the networks they traverse. Our solutions, built upon the open-source innovations of Zeek, Suricata, and YARA and refined through extensive real-world application, transform these network traces from physical, virtual, and cloud environments into actionable intelligence. Our clients leverage these insights to accelerate incident response and proactively hunt for threats.
We are assembling a premier, uniquely focused team to spearhead security product research and development through agile development and rigorous testing. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical capabilities and a deep understanding of agentic AI solutions and experience in network security data. This individual will be instrumental in creating novel, rapid, and effective software security products utilizing cutting-edge technology, with a particular emphasis on agentic AI.
As Corelight is uniquely positioned to define the future of network detection and response, this role offers a significant opportunity to contribute to this evolution. In this position, you will have the chance to reflect a year from now and state with pride: "I was a key part of building that," and "We are generating insights that are unparalleled in the industry."
As an AI Engineer for MCP and LLM at Corelight, you will collaborate closely with product management, engineering, and network security experts to investigate, design, test, and construct AI solutions for complex network security challenges. You will play a pivotal role in defining what is achievable for future Corelight products and setting the benchmark for network detection in the cybersecurity landscape.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it.
