About This Role
- Own and extend the static analysis engine for code scanning, including parsing source code, symbol resolution, call graphs, and taint/data-flow analysis to support new languages and frameworks.
- Build and utilize AI-assisted tools to implement, validate, and measure detection quality of security vulnerabilities, focusing on reducing false positives and false negatives.

- Work Experience Required: Not explicitly mentioned in the JD.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Comfortable working independently and organizing tasks in a remote, largely asynchronous environment.
- Able to communicate technical problems and iterative solutions clearly and concisely.
- Experience or willingness to engage with AI-assisted development workflows, performance optimization, containerized workflows (Docker/CI/CD), or program security research.
