Your role is to implement new features, as well as improve and maintain existing ones in collaboration with your engineering peers and our colleagues in Product, Security, and Quality.
You will help create a lovable experience for product categories that are used by thousands of users, and you will have access to feedback from those users, both internal and external. You will also help operate the package metadata database, which consolidates security advisory and license information for package managers that we support.
Our dependency scanning and container scanning tools will expose you to different technologies, and challenge you to learn about new languages and frameworks. Our continuous vulnerability scanning feature will give you an opportunity to work with massive scale, and solve complex problems.
Some examples of our projects:
