Principal Applied Scientist

We are looking for a Principal Applied Scientist to join our Security Engineering organization and help define the future of security operations for Oracle’s SaaS ecosystem. This role offers a rare and high-impact opportunity to shape how next-generation detection, response, and threat defense will work across one of the largest enterprise cloud environments in the world.

As a Principal IC, you will architect and develop advanced ML and behavioral models that enable a new class of adaptive, intelligence-informed security capabilities. You will work directly with massive, noisy, and adversarial telemetry; build models that must operate at extreme scale; and pioneer approaches that transform how our analysts, detections, and automated systems understand attacker behavior.

In this role you will:

• Invent new ways to detect and disrupt attackers
• Build machine learning foundations for an AI-driven SOC
• Influence the architecture of detection pipelines for years to come
• Operationalize research at petabyte scale
• Raise the scientific bar across the security organization

You will work closely with Detection Engineering, Red Team, Threat Intelligence, and Data Engineering to identify meaningful signal, reduce noise, validate hypotheses, and translate research into production systems that materially reduce risk.
