Responsibilities
- Design, build, and evolve the MDASH scanning engine for agent orchestration, multi-model routing, code understanding, vulnerability detection, reachability validation, and fix generation and verification.
- Extend scanning coverage across vulnerability classes, programming languages, frameworks, build systems, and codebase sizes, including large monorepos.
- Integrate static and dynamic analysis, taint tracking, call-graph and data-flow analysis, fuzzing, and sandboxed execution into agent workflows.
- Improve detection precision and recall, consistency, and fix quality using evaluation results, research findings, and production feedback.
- Optimize scan performance, scalability, cost, and latency for enterprise codebases and CI/CD workflows.
- Build a secure, reliable, observable engine with strong isolation for untrusted code and telemetry for diagnosing agent behavior.
- Collaborate with security research, applied science, model, and product teams to bring new techniques and models into production.
- Track the agentic security and code-scanning landscape and propose ideas to differentiate MDASH.
- Write well-tested code, lead design reviews, participate in code reviews, and take part in on-call rotations.

- Preferred: master’s degree and 3+ years of technical engineering experience, or bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of technical engineering experience, or equivalent experience.
- Preferred experience building production systems with large language models, including AI agents, multi-agent orchestration, tool calling, planning, context management, or code-understanding systems.
- Preferred experience building distributed, high-scale cloud services on Azure, including containerized or sandboxed execution.
- Preferred familiarity with software ecosystems and build systems across C/C++, C#, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and cloud-native applications.
