Cybersecurity - Data Analyst - Python, AI/ML, LLM

Erias Ventures•Annapolis Junction, MD

15h•$150,000 - $200,000

About The Position

We are seeking a Data Analyst to serve as behavioral scientists for AI systems, defining what constitutes “normal" behavior before identifying anomalies. In Phase 1, they conduct controlled experiments across various AI models, including commercial services and open-source models deployed locally, to observe resource utilization, API interaction patterns, and output features. They analyze telemetry data from these systems to establish statistical baselines and create anomaly detection algorithms that can differentiate between typical operational variations and security issues. A key aspect of their work involves distinguishing between conversational AI that functions in discrete sessions and autonomous AI agents that maintain persistent states and can alter their workflows.

Requirements

Six (6) years of demonstrated experience as a Data Analyst in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
Three (3) years of demonstrated experience in cybersecurity activities in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
Python data analysis (pandas, scikit-learn, numpy)
Statistical analysis and anomaly detection
Data visualization skills
Understanding of APIs and how systems communicate
Ability to document and explain results to senior leadership.
A current Top-Secret/SCI with polygraph security clearance is required.
Candidates cannot be sponsored or nominated for a government security clearance under this position.

Nice To Haves

Experience with AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face)
Understanding of how AI systems behave (conversational vs. autonomous agents)
Cybersecurity or threat detection background
Will analyze behaviors of commercial AI services (ChatGPT, Claude) and open-source models
Will build detection algorithms (context) for AI-specific anomalies
Will work with large telemetry dataset

Responsibilities

Analyze telemetry data from AI systems to establish statistical baselines
Create anomaly detection algorithms to differentiate between typical operational variations and security issues
Distinguish between conversational AI and autonomous AI agents
