Senior Rust Engineer

Our mission is to evolve an existing Gitleaks-based scanner into a global, high-performance security powerhouse. We aren't just scanning code; we are integrating AI (LLM/ONNX) to slash false-positive rates and expanding the scanner's reach across new technologies and global infrastructures. If you love deep-diving into Rust to squeeze out every drop of performance while playing with the latest in LLM integration, this is your project.DetailsStart Date: ASAP End Date: June 30, 2026.Workload: 680 total project hours.Location: 100% RemoteLanguage: English.ResponsibilitiesRust Development: Build custom extensions for the secret scanner to enhance its core capabilities.AI Integration: Connect the scanner to LLM systems using the ONNX format to intelligently filter out false positives and improve accuracy.Pattern Mastery: Implement and refine detection patterns and complex Regex rules for a vast array of secret types.GitLab Orchestration: Integrate the solution into GitLab CI/CD pipelines with automated policy checks and compliance enforcement.Performance Tuning: Optimize scan speeds and database interactions (Postgres & Redis) to ensure the scanner handles global-scale traffic without breaking a sweat.Documentation: Create professional-grade Markdown documentation and train dev teams on security best practices.RequirementsProgramming: High-level mastery of Rust (it’s the engine of our scanner).DevOps & Containers: Deep expertise in GitLab CI/CD, Docker (multi-stage builds), and Kubernetes.Data Layers: Practical experience with Postgres and Redis (performance tuning is key).Security: Sound understanding of Secret Management, GitLab policies, and hands-on experience with various scanning tools.Pattern Matching: Professional-level Regex skills.AI Fundamentals: A solid grasp of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the ONNX format.Nice to HaveExperience evaluating and benchmarking alternative scanning tools.A background in global rollout strategies for security software.
