Remote Frontend Jobs

GitHub 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 making the world s software - both Open Source and Enterprise - secure and high quality. We believe that the best way to accomplish this is to detect security and quality 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 and Code Quality products that are part of GitHub s Code Security offering. We use 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 leveraging the power of agentic AI.

Come join our engineering team and help design, develop, and scale GitHub's Code Scanning feature. You'll be working in a full-stack agile engineering team that's part of the larger Code Scanning group working in Security Products. You'll work with and learn from Senior and Staff engineers as well as influence team and product direction.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test and ship high-quality technical solutions that scale across multiple GitHub services
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and implement innovative solutions
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, pairing opportunities, and code reviews to encourage the growth of others
• Own and advocate for the health and quality of the systems that the team builds, including participating in on-call and first responder rotations
• Write architecture briefs and proposals, carry out code experiments, and build prototypes to learn how we can achieve planetary scale with our systems
• Design and implement GraphQL APIs and REST endpoints that serve as building blocks for product teams to build new features
• Maintain and extend Ruby on Rails applications and Go services
• Drive improvements to service reliability through instrumentation, monitoring, and SLO management
• Lead discussions for technical solutions within the team's area of responsibility and create proposals for architecture
• Drive identification of dependencies during the design of products, applications, services, or platforms
• Participate in incident response, conduct root cause analysis, and contribute to postmortems
• Drive efforts to integrate instrumentation for gathering telemetry data on system behavior such as performance, reliability, availability, and usage
• Utilize CI/CD tools to set up automated pipelines for continuous integration and delivery
• Become intimately familiar with the systems you build and take pride in writing maintainable code
