Bad bots are highly destructive. They take over accounts, steal content, overload systems and infrastructure and cause billions of dollars in damages every year. Seeking to restore trust in the internet, Kasada stops bots at the very first request including those that have never been seen before.
We've grown from a few friends working out of a shipping container under the Sydney Harbour Bridge to now operating globally, we're spread across the world protecting some of the most well-known brands on the face of the earth.

- Develop, train, and deploy ML models to detect automation and fraud across large-scale, high-velocity traffic.
- Explore massive datasets to identify anomalies, uncover new adversarial behaviours, and anticipate attack vectors.
- Build and maintain scalable pipelines and frameworks that can handle real-time detection in adversarial environments.
- Collaborate closely with engineers, researchers, and product managers to operationalise models and integrate them into Kasada's platform.
- Design experiments to rigorously evaluate detection effectiveness and resilience against attacker adaptation.
- Stay on the cutting edge of adversarial ML and cybersecurity, translating research into practical defence capabilities.
- Communicate insights and outcomes clearly, ensuring technical and business stakeholders can act on findings.
- Strong expertise in machine learning, statistics, and anomaly detection methods.
