Why N-able

IT doesn’t get better than this! N-able isn’t just another software company – we’re going places, and we’d love for you to be a part of that journey. With N-ablites in 15 countries around the world, you’re adding your unique voice to a diverse team of people who are supporting our customers, and one another. Join a team where you can make a difference!

If you are an affable and talented data practitioner with excellent attention to detail who enjoys a flexible, fast-paced work environment, our Data Science team is the place for you! We are a cloud-native, machine learning-empowered, one-stop cybersecurity solution that combines event monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. Our clients range from small regional financial institutions to multinational corporations.

The Data Science team collaborates with the broader Engineering organization to automate the ingestion of security logs into the cloud and builds machine learning solutions for empowering IT security. These applications have immediate impact on clients, allowing effective monitoring of billions of log messages and highly informative alerts on events that warrant further investigation. You will be joining a team of data scientists committed to cutting-edge research in anomaly detection. The general use case is relatively new and therefore offers the opportunity to write breakthrough algorithms using unsupervised modeling techniques on a wide range of data types.

The Way We Work is our hybrid working model based on trust and flexibility. Candidates must be local to, and able to work on-site in Ottawa, Canada or Morrisville, NC as encouraged.

What You'll Do
