Senior Software Engineer - MDASH
Full Job Posting
Design, build, and evolve the MDASH scanning engine, including agent orchestration, multi-model routing, code understanding, vulnerability detection, reachability validation, and fix generation and verification. * Extend the engine's coverage across vulnerability classes, programming languages, frameworks, build systems, and codebase sizes, from single services to large monorepos. * Integrate program analysis techniques into agent workflows to make detections more precise and grounded. These include static and dynamic analysis, taint tracking, call-graph and data-flow analysis, fuzzing, and sandboxed execution. * Improve the engine's precision, recall, consistency, and fix quality, working from evaluation results, research findings, and production feedback. * Optimize scan performance, scalability, cost, and latency so MDASH works well on enterprise-scale codebases and in CI/CD workflows. * Build a secure, reliable, observable engine, with strong isolation for running untrusted code and clear telemetry for diagnosing agent behavior. * Work with security research, applied science, model, and product teams to bring new techniques and models into the engine quickly and safely. * Track the agentic security and code-scanning landscape, and bring forward ideas that make MDASH stand out against competitors. * Write high-quality, well-tested code. Lead design reviews, take part in code reviews and on-call rotations, and help raise the engineering bar for the team.
