Senior Software Engineer, Code Scanning

OverviewGitHub is the home for software development, where developers collaborate to build the world’s leading AI-powered developer platform.In the GitHub Code Scanning team, we are passionate about securing the world’s software - both Open Source and Enterprise. We believe that the best way to secure software is to detect security issues early in the development process, and actively facilitate their remediation as part of the developer workflow. Our team develops and operates the Code Scanning product that’s part of GitHub’s Code Security offering. Code scanning uses world-class static analysis research and technology to deeply analyze code, enabling the early detection of security vulnerabilities and other bugs that testing and day-to-day use have missed. This role will be involved in the design, rollout and support of highly performant, highly scalable, and highly available services to make found-means-fixed a reality with the power of Copilot Autofix.LocationsIn this role you can work from Remote, GermanyResponsibilitiesCome join our engineering team and help design, develop, and scale GitHub’s new Code Scanning feature.
