We have 2 senior openings right now, and both feel representative in not requiring a PhD. We're pretty cutting edge here (end-to-end GPU acceleration, graph neural networks, win R&D competitions, ...), and our team is split pretty evenly on PhD vs not, so I likewise feel pretty comfortable writing this:

* Security AI : ugrad-level math ability (linear algebra, prob, stats, info theory, ...) is required, as well as experience with deep learning and operational AI problems. PhD more strongly suggests you can communicate & plan, such as for giving talks, pitching crazy projects, and writing DARPA grants... but not necessarily, nor required.

* Security engineer: We care more that someone has worked with big operational security systems, getting things like large & gnarly Splunk deploys and how tools like Spark, AI, Python, notebooks, and viz can seriously augment them. You don't learn that at school.
