Our customers protect networks, secure nations, and power the global economy. The problems we solve are genuinely hard, and the work matters. Founded in 2016 by the team that built Cleversafe (acquired by IBM in 2015), Ocient is headquartered in Chicago with a remote-first global team. We are a carbon-neutral company backed by leading investors including Greycroft, OCA Ventures, In-Q-Tel, and Buoyant Ventures.Do not contact Ocient directly to apply for a role.

OPT, EAD, H1B, H4, etc.)*Estimated salary range: ​Base: $170,000 to $210,000​Expected OTE: $226,000 to $280,000• The salary offered for this position will be based on a candidate’s experience and skill demonstrated during interviews and other evaluationsPosition Overview Ocient's data engine already ingests and queries full-fidelity network and security telemetry — NetFlow/IPFIX, DNS, authentication, endpoint, and cloud audit data — at petabyte scale, retaining 12–24 months without sampling and querying it in seconds. We're putting that engine to work as the data layer behavioral baselining, threat hunting, and agentic AI detection run against, and we know exactly the kind of engineer it takes to build what runs on top of it.We're hiring a Network Infrastructure & Security Engineer who leads by doing. This is a builder role, not a figurehead or advisory position: you'll be the one writing SQL-based detections, building the datasets and demo environment used to develop and prove them out, and making the calls on network probe and data-collection strategy as we grow. You'll work closely with the Practice Leader and the rest of the Solutions team, but the work happens with you down in the weeds, not above them.customer outcomes.Responsibilities• Write detection logic. Design, write, and maintain SQL-based behavioral detections and anomaly-scoring logic on top of Ocient's engine — lateral movement, C2 beaconing, DNS tunneling, data exfiltration, and low-and-slow attack patterns using rolling 7/30/90-day baselines.• Run the technical program day to day. Build, test, tune, and validate detections against real and simulated telemetry, hands-on — not just define requirements for someone else to build.• Build the datasets and demo environment. Work with the team building the demo environment to generate the underlying datasets needed to develop and showcase detections and use cases, alongside the broader platform build-out.• Make the work reusable. Build detection logic so it generalizes (~90% reusability) across the industries we support — financial services, telecommunications, energy, healthcare, and government — rather than as vertical-specific one-offs.• Shape network probe & data collection strategy. Evaluate and help define our approach to high-volume network data capture, including tradeoffs between commercial probes (Gigamon, NetQuest) and lower-cost or open-source alternatives (e.g., Zeek/Suricata-based collection).• Keep integrations clean. Make sure detections and enrichment output integrate cleanly with customers' existing SIEM/EDR stack (Splunk, Chronicle, Sentinel, CrowdStrike) so adoption doesn't require a rip-and-replace.• Deliver hands-on during customer pilots. Provide hands-on technical delivery during customer proof-of-value pilots — configuring ingestion, tuning baselines, and validating detections against a...
