## About the Role

* 3+ years of software engineering experience. You have shipped and maintained production code in at least one of the following languages: Java, Kotlin, Python, Go, JavaScript or TypeScript.
 * Experience that you build and operate backend services or platforms that other engineers use.
 * Experience with developer infrastructure, such as continuous integration, build systems, or monorepos.
 * Comfort with data. You can write SQL, build a pipeline, and put the result on a dashboard.
 * Good testing and debugging practice. You measure before you optimize.
 * Clear written communication across teams.

Experience in these areas is a bonus. None of them is required:

 * Development of security tooling, static analysis, or dependency scanning.
 * Knowledge of web or mobile application security.
 * AWS configuration concepts.
 * Measurement of output quality from large language models.

## Description

* Design, build, and operate the backend services that run our code checks inside continuous integration. You own their reliability and their latency.
 * Scale the platform to new repositories, new languages, and new check types, and keep the integration simple for the teams that adopt it.
 * Build and maintain the data pipelines that store results, and the dashboards that report coverage, volume, and time to fix.
 * Design clear APIs and integration points so other engineering teams can plug into the platform without our help.
 * Improve the developer experience. Cut noise, write useful messages, and keep the feedback loop short.
 * Write tests, add instrumentation, and operate what you build.
 * Support our work on AI-assisted code review. Build the evaluation datasets and the pipeline that measures output quality.
