Staff Software Engineer (Malware Detection)

Responsibilities

• Detection Quality
• Build the measurement behind coverage and precision: the pipelines, metrics, and dashboards the product is steered by.
• Engineer the feedback loop between Engineering and Product Security so a detection change can be evaluated and shipped in hours, not days.
• Build the systems for reviewing, escalating, and correcting detections quickly, including bulk correction at ecosystem scale.
• Scanner Platform
• Own the architecture of Chainguard's shared malware scanning platform: scan orchestration, verdict storage, and the APIs every consuming product depends on.
• Scale the scanner beyond Libraries to Containers, Agent Skills, and future artifact types.
• Make the tradeoffs between detection quality, performance, and extensibility concrete in throughput, latency, and cost.
• Threat Detection
• Build and scale the analysis itself: deterministic static analysis alongside AI-assisted reasoning over artifact contents.
