- Improve reliability, isolation, and reproducibility of long-running scans
- Design clean, maintainable abstractions around scanner execution and resource management
- Optimize performance and cost efficiency of distributed workloads
- Systematically reduce flakiness in browser-based and network-heavy scans

- Execution Platform: Contribute to scheduling, isolation, resource governance, queueing/backpressure, and workload orchestration.
- Production Ownership: Participate in monitoring, debugging, performance tuning, and continuous improvement of reliability in production.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with Security Research and Platform teams to ensure new detection logic integrates safely and cleanly.
- Browser Automation: Work with Playwright and headless Chromium to instrument browsers and improve stability and determinism of web automation tasks.
Tech Stack
