Harmonic Security lets teams adopt AI tools safely by protecting sensitive data in real time with minimal effort. It gives enterprises full control and stops leaks so that their teams can innovate confidently.
We are led by cybersecurity experts and backed by top investors including N47, Ten Eleven Ventures, and In-Q-Tel.
How We Work: AI-First by Design
Harmonic exists to help enterprises adopt AI safely and at scale. We hold ourselves to the same standard. Everyone at Harmonic actively uses AI tools to do their best work, from research and writing to building processes and automating workflows. We expect every new hire to bring curiosity about AI and a willingness to use it to work smarter, faster, and more creatively. For some roles, that means tinkering and staying open to new tools. For others, it means building entirely new systems with AI at the core. We'll be clear about what we expect for each role, and we'll give you the tools and support to get there.
Our Product Delivery team is the engine that turns vision into impact. We ship early and often, getting valuable features into the hands of customers quickly and iterating from there. We work in the open by default, sharing progress and ideas, and we trust each other to own outcomes. Weāre a small but mighty crew where every person plays a critical role and weāre committed to using AI to work smarter and faster.
As our Data Scientist, you'll be a critical member of our team, laying the groundwork for groundbreaking advancements in secure Generative AI adoption. Your expertise will be instrumental in building and continuously improving the detection models at the heart of our product, from curating high-quality training datasets to tuning production models informed by real-world customer feedback.
Working collaboratively to design and curate comprehensive datasets tailored to train and fine-tune our sensitive data detection models.
Your analytical rigour will be key to developing new detection models, from defining what a new sensitive data category looks like through to building, validating, and shipping a production-ready model.
You'll also drive continuous improvement of our existing model suite, using performance dashboards and direct customer feedback - including the opportunity to hear first-hand from customers - to prioritise retunes and sharpen detection accuracy.
You'll stay abreast of the latest data science trends and techniques, continuously seeking ways to optimize models and datasets to enhance model performance.
You'll collaborate effectively with engineers and security teams, fostering clear communication around data needs and ensuring seamless integration with our security solutions.
