At Cycode, we’re revolutionizing Static Application Security Testing (SAST) with our Next-Gen product, part of Cycode’s Complete Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) suite. Our core engine is primarily built in Rust, complemented by C# wrappers, offering a cutting-edge foundation for application security.

We’re looking for an innovative engineer to join our team and help build, optimize, and expand the capabilities of our Rust-based SAST engine. This role involves close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, contributing to the performance, functionality, and language support of the engine.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop & Optimize: Enhance and maintain the Rust-based SAST engine, ensuring high performance and reliability.
• Collaborate: Work closely with the SAST team to implement features and extend support for additional programming languages.
• Design & Architecture: Participate in technical discussions, contributing to architecture and design decisions for the SAST engine.
  
  

Why Join Us?

• New Product, Established Foundation: Work alongside domain experts to take Cycode’s native SAST scanner to the next level.
• Innovative Culture: Have a meaningful impact on product and technical decisions in a collaborative environment.
• Growth Opportunities: Expand your role and skillset in a fast-evolving domain with ample room for professional development.
  
  

Requirements:

• Proficiency in Rust or another low-level language with a strong willingness to learn Rust quickly.
• Experience designing CLI tools or low-level applications.
• A solid understanding of performance optimization for high-performance applications.
• Interest or experience in application security.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate and share complex ideas effectively in both written and spoken formats.
  
  

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Background in secure coding practices.
• Experience parsing Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) using tools like Tree Sitter.
• Passion for programming languages, considering yourself a polyglot.
• Familiarity with Foreign Function Interfaces (FFI).
• Experience using profiling tools to optimize performance.
• Some exposure to C#.
