The intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, enabling teams and agents to ship trusted software at enterprise scale. Backed by General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
As a Senior Backend Engineer on GitLab's Security Factory: Code Security team, you help developers find and fix security issues. Those issues live in the code they write and in the open source components they depend on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience building your own LLM tooling, such as a harness, an agent pipeline, or evaluations, with the judgment to know when output is trustworthy and when it isn't
- Familiarity with package managers and dependency management in one or more language ecosystems, such as npm, Maven, pip, Bundler, or Cargo. Experience building tooling around them is better still
- Demonstrated application security experience, such as vulnerability research, secure code review, or writing detection rules, and fluency with vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, CWE) and the software supply chain
- A track record of taking ownership of ambiguous problems and shipping with minimal guidance, with the self-motivation and organizational skills suited to a remote, largely asynchronous environment
- Demonstrated capacity to communicate clearly and concisely about technical problems, and to write design proposals that bring a team to a decision
- Experience evaluating AI-driven detection against labeled data, including measuring false positives and missed findings
