Overview
Design, build and test custom IDE rules, local automation scripts and GitHub security pipeline configurations that make security scanning frictionless for developers.
What you'll do
- Design, write and test custom rules files (e.g., for Cursor, VS Code) that enforce security best practices in real-time as developers code.
- Develop lightweight, executable "skills" or scripts (Python/Bash) for endpoint pre-push security reviews, enabling developers to self-assess code before committing.
- Create and document best practices for GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS), optimizing CodeQL queries and Dependabot configurations for high-fidelity scanning.
- Ensure all security tools are frictionless and high value for developers, minimizing noise and false positives.
- Write clear, actionable guides for engineering teams to adopt these new tools.
What you'll need
- At least 3 years of experience in hands-on software development (Python, TypeScript, or Go preferred).
- Deep familiarity with modern IDEs (VS Code, Cursor) and their configuration ecosystems (settings.json, extensions, rules files).
- Practical experience with GitHub Actions and GitHub Advanced Security features (CodeQL, Dependabot).
- Deep understanding of SAST (Static Application Security Testing) for code quality and SCA (Software Composition Analysis) for dependency management (e.g., Dependabot, OSV).
- Direct experience using and configuring AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) and understanding their context windows and prompting mechanisms.
- Strong proficiency in writing portable scripts for local automation (Python, Shell).
- Ability to create creative, lightweight solutions that run efficiently on local machines.
- Proven ability to implement AI thinking in the team and drive efficiencies across development lifecycles.
- Mandatory skill sets: AI / Agentic AI / Cursor, GitHub Copilot.
- Years of experience required: 3-7 years.
- Education qualification: B.Tech / B.E.; Bachelor Degree required.
Nice to have
- Preferred skill sets: AI / Agentic AI / Cursor, GitHub Copilot.
