Full job description
You will build systems that give organisations complete traceability from source code to deployed artifact. It's not just where an artifact came from, but how it was built, what went into it, and where it was used downstream.
You will build infrastructure that captures, validates, and exposes build provenance and attestation data across CI/CD pipelines and artifact ecosystems.
You will be given the opportunity to shape how supply chain security and artifact traceability systems are designed from the ground up.
