In this role, you’ll:

• Research and develop next-gen code analysis and remediation algorithms
• Work hands-on with GenAI models and integrate them into detection workflows
• Tackle complex software analysis problems (e.g., call graphs, control/data/taint flow analysis)
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Algorithm software engineers and application software engineers to prototype, validate, and productize your innovations

What You'll Do

• Design and implement machine learning and algorithmic solutions for code analysis
• Build GenAI-powered developer tools for static and semantic code analysis
• Enhance our existing detection infrastructure with intelligent, context-aware insights
• Translate cutting-edge research into practical, scalable product features

Requirements:

• MSc in Computer Science (or related field) from a top-tier institution – Must
• 3+ years of experience in software development and code analysis algorithms – Must
• Strong programming experience in Java - Must
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills – Must
• Hands-on experience building GenAI-based solutions (e.g., fine-tuning LLMs, agentic approaches, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt engineering)

Advantage:

• Familiarity with ML for code, static/dynamic analysis tools, and AST-level representations
• Experience with web application security, vulnerability detection, or remediation
• Proficiency in one or more of: JavaScript, C#, Python, Go, PHP
• Familiarity with cloud-native environments and CI/CD workflows (AWS, Azure)
