Senior Applied Researcher- AI Research

Every nation has data. Few can protect it. Fewer still can act on it.

Dream is the sovereign AI and national cyber-defense company for governments.

We help nations secure their most critical systems, connect fragmented information at a national scale, and turn their most sensitive data into decisions, all fully sovereign.

This is more than a job. It's a Dream job, where you'll work at a global scale alongside some of the best AI researchers, cyber operators, and government experts in the world.

We defend nations against the most advanced threats in the world with a national security suite that offers AI-native resilience against APTs with visibility, insights and mediation across Posture, CTI, and Detection & Response, all fully sovereign.

The Dream Job:

We are seeking a Senior Applied Researcher/ Data Scientist to join Dream’s core product organization, where you will build and deploy next-generation AI models powering real-world cybersecurity use cases across our diverse product portfolio (Posture, Detection, and CTI). The role centers on building and scaling intelligent systems powered by LLMs, advanced ML techniques, and agent-based architectures.

You will join a team within Dream’s Cyber R&D organization, leading the company’s core product portfolio-while driving AI innovation and setting best practices across the domain. The group focuses on developing next-generation technologies, including training and optimizing LLMs and building advanced multi-agent workflows, while mentoring data scientists across R&D.
