Our take: The real work here is extending a static analysis engine in Rust and Go, directing AI agents to help build it, and proving each change catches more real vulnerabilities without raising false alarms.
If you like the idea of building the brain behind a code scanner, parsing source, resolving symbols, tracing tainted data across files and languages, then measuring whether your changes catch more real bugs without crying wolf, this is unusually deep and satisfying work. You will write Rust and Go alongside AI agents, and much of the craft is knowing when to trust what they produce and when to pull it into human review. It is remote and asynchronous, so it suits someone who runs their own day and cares about getting the details genuinely right.
