Senior ML Engineer - Malware Detection (remote work)

CloudLinux / TuxCare

Remote · ArmeniaSalary not disclosedfull-timeCloudLinux / TuxCare Careers

We sit on one of the largest labeled corpora of live web-server malware in the industry: files, verdicts, cleanup outcomes, and analyst decisions collected from production hosting servers every day. It already drives our signatures, heuristics, and ML models, and there is far more to get out of it.

Responsibilities

  • The goal is 10x more malware detected at the same or lower false-positive rate. Hand-written rules and faster pipelines will not get there; models trained on our data might.
  • Decide which files on a server deserve a closer look, within tight CPU and memory budgets
  • Tell malicious code from benign at fleet scale and a sensible cost per file
  • Generate detection signatures automatically from new campaigns
  • Catch malware that only looks malicious in context, such as phishing pages and script injections
  • Route each file to the right detection engine
  • Make cleanup precise so sites stay clean afterwards
  • Prove each model improves detection before it ships
  • You get an experimentation track, GPUs, and a direct line to leadership; in return, you bring numbers, not opinions.
  • Remote-first, async across UTC−5 to UTC+8. Decisions are written down (ADR-Lite) and public by default.
