Seeking Defenders

At Torch.AI (Torch Research, LLC), we’re passionate about building software that solves some of the world’s most challenging problems. On the leading edge of applied technology, we partner with some of the most important National Security, Intelligence, and commercial enterprises to transform how they solve critical problems and achieve “Trust at Scale.”

Our machine learning software has been used to enhance our Nation’s security by protecting critical military assets, stopping fraud on a massive scale, discovering new trends, gaining an edge in financial markets, and beyond. If answering these types of challenges excites you, we'd love for you to join.

The Role

Torch.AI’s ability to effectively impact both our Department of Defense (DoD) mission and the U.S. Government space depends on our ability to traverse the security landscape. As part of our company expansion, we are growing our security team.

In addition, you’ll provide functional support for physical security requirements, including managing daily security activities such as logging entry records and operating select security systems. You’ll be a key point-of-contact for coordinating with upper management on security protocols and legal requirements.

This role requires a tenacious and resourceful individual to navigate a complex and ever-changing security landscape.

We’re looking for an FSO that has:

· Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills; ability to communicate to a nontechnical audience on technical issues, and ability to communicate well at all levels of the organization.

· Strong problem-solving and creative skills and the ability to exercise sound judgment and make decisions based on accurate and timely analyses.
