The posting

About Us

At Armadin, we're a group of engineers, researchers, and security researchers on a mission to redefine what proactive security can do in the AI era. Cyberattacks are becoming autonomous and relentless and we believe defending against threats before they materialize is one of the most powerful ways to protect the institutions the world depends on.

We're building autonomous proactive security from the ground up, reinforcing the tradecraft of elite security practioners into purpose-built security models and agents that discover risk and remediate it before organizations are breached.

Led by Kevin Mandia, founder of Mandiant ($5.4B exit to Google), our team brings together researchers and engineers from Google, xAI, Meta, Stanford, Georgia Tech, Waterloo, Berkeley, and MIT to reinvent security for an adversary that never sleeps.

What You'll Do

  • Own Post-Training Strategy: Drive the post-training roadmap (fine-tuning, preference optimization, reward modeling, RL, distillation) to make models more capable, reliable, and aligned.
  • Push Efficiency & Evals: Make models serve reliably at scale, and build the benchmarks that measure quality and catch regressions.
  • Ground Research in Reality: Turn our security experts' tradecraft into model capabilities and ship your techniques into production.
  • Stay at the Frontier: Track post-training and efficiency research and bring the best ideas in.

What You'll Bring

  • Research Pedigree: PhD in CS, ML, or related field, or equivalent experience with a strong track record.
  • Post-Training Depth: Hands-on experience with SFT, RLHF/RLAIF, DPO, and reward modeling.
  • Practical Results: You train, fine-tune, and evaluate models, and make research work in practice.
  • Engineering Strength: You implement your own ideas and run them at scale.
  • Range & Judgment: You drive strategy broadly or go deep on one hard problem as needed.
  • Collaboration: You work well across teams and care about the outcome, not just your slice.

Even Better With

  • Publications in top ML venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL).
  • RL, preference optimization, or reward modeling at scale.
  • Research from prototype to production in a fast-moving company.
  • Enterprise products built for reliability, scale, and trust.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
