Needs

Faster CI/CD. Our scanners run inside customer pipelines, so our own test and release pipeline has to be fast enough to ship rule updates daily.

Today: hosted workflow runners with pinned actions rolled out organisation-wide to harden and speed pipelines · Urgency: now

LLM evaluation & testing. We use language models to triage and fix findings and need repeatable benchmarks to prove suggestions are correct.

Today: published head-to-head model benchmarks run on in-house labelled security findings · Urgency: now

Technical hiring. We are growing quickly and struggle to find engineers who understand both compilers and security.

Today: internship programme plus startup-pitch posts feeding a growing engineering recruiting funnel · Urgency: now

Who decides

vp engineering · team trial

Expects from suppliers

Evaluation harnesses that work with our own labeled datasets; Fast, cache-friendly build infrastructure; Respect for open-source community norms

Not a fit

Products that want to replace our analysis engine; Sales motions requiring long on-site pilots

Stack

CI/CD pipeline in place, LLM APIs in production, cloud: AWS-class hyperscaler
