Description

  • Own the architecture of the shared scanning platform, including orchestration, verdict storage, and APIs.
  • Scale scanning across libraries, containers, AI agent skills, and future artifact types.
  • Build pipelines, metrics, dashboards, and feedback loops to improve detection coverage and precision.

  • Build deterministic and AI-assisted artifact analysis and bring threat detections from research into production.

  • Operate the scanner in the customer critical path, including alerting, queue health, reliability guarantees, and incident response.
  • Mentor engineers and raise standards for technical design and code review.
  • Collaborate with Product Security, Product, Design, and go-to-market teams.

Requirements

  • Experience making design and prioritization decisions in technically complex, ambiguous environments.
  • Experience measuring and improving quality metrics such as false-positive rates.
  • Production deployment and operations experience, including reliability, observability, and incident response.

  • Preferred: experience with malware detection, static analysis, SCA, vulnerability scanning, package ecosystems, AI-assisted security analysis, sandboxing, eBPF, gVisor, seccomp, container isolation, cloud infrastructure, or Terraform.

Benefits

  • Stock options upon hire and promotion, secondary offering participation, and a 10-year exercise window.
