About the role

Cisco is seeking a Senior Lead AI Researcher to architect proprietary intelligence and lead end-to-end pre-training initiatives for large language models at scale. You will bridge cutting-edge research with Cisco’s networking, security, and observability domains. You will collaborate with engineers and strategists to translate findings into scalable product features, publish in top venues, and influence Cisco’s AI roadmap across a global scale.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
