As a Senior Software Engineer on the Vulnerability Management Engineering team, you'll build and run the systems that find vulnerabilities across GitHub's services and infrastructure, get each one to the team that owns it, and control how our code, packages, and container images are sourced and built. It's backend and distributed systems work where the users are other engineers, and you'll build deep expertise in vulnerability management and software supply chain security along the way. We are looking for creative problem solvers and diverse thinkers, people who care about culture as well as customers and features. We believe that how we do things is as important as what we do. Big vision, a common purpose, passion for quality, curiosity, dedication, and investment in fun and collaboration are what lead to great results. Great products reflect the teams that build them. Responsibilities * Design, develop, test and ship high-quality technical solutions that scale across multiple GitHub services. * Build the platform that collects security findings from container image, cloud, host, and code scanning, matches each finding to the team that owns it, and tracks remediation through risk scoring, SLAs, and exceptions. * Design and roll out software supply chain controls, such as authenticated package and container proxies that enforce policy, across GitHub Actions, Docker builds, and Dependabot, in a way teams can adopt without slowing down. * Build systems that meet compliance requirements such as FedRAMP, and evolve production services without breaking the APIs other teams rely on. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including service owners, platform engineering, cloud security, and compliance, to define and implement innovative solutions. * Provide technical leadership, mentorship, pairing opportunities, and code reviews to encourage the growth of others. * Own and advocate for the health and quality of the systems that the team builds, including participating in on-call and first responder rotations. * Write architecture briefs and proposals, carry out code experiments, and build prototypes to learn how we can achieve planetary scale with our systems. ## About GitHub GitHub is **_where people build software_**.
