As a Lead Engineer - BuildGuard

You will engineer secure, high-performance build solutions:

  • Architect and build the core engine of BuildGuard using Golang, focusing on deep build introspection and security.
  • Design and implement secure build environments, analyzing compiler behavior and dependency chains to detect vulnerabilities in real-time.
  • Develop low-level integrations with build systems (Make, Ninja, Bazel) to ensure hermetic and reproducible builds.
  • Integrate the product directly into the CI/CD pipeline without compromising speed or developer experience.
  • Build resilient, scalable services that can handle the massive throughput of enterprise build artifacts and logs.

You will lead product architecture and innovation:

  • Partner with Product Managers to translate abstract security and build challenges into defined technical requirements and concrete solutions.
  • Own the technical vision for BuildGuard end-to-end, from architectural concepts to production deployment.
  • Communicate complex security and build concepts clearly via design docs, diagrams, and discussions with stakeholders.
  • Thrive in uncertainty, showing technical independence to drive solutions from ambiguous requirements in a new product territory.
  • Contribute to the technical roadmap, breaking down complex security features into milestones and guiding the team's development.

You will champion quality, security, and execution:

  • Embrace complex challenges, solving novel problems at the intersection of build performance and application security.
  • Develop comprehensive automated testing strategies to ensure reliable, secure deployments.
  • Drive execution within an Agile framework (sprint planning, decomposition, retros) while maintaining a high bar for security standards.
  • Manage and prioritize the technical backlog to balance feature delivery with architectural integrity and security hardening.
  • Leverage AI development tools to boost productivity, applying critical judgment to verify and integrate code securely.
