Responsibilities
Build and extend the AI-powered Ingestion Engine: work with our team members to develop a multi‑language ingestion pipeline that generates syntactic, semantic, focus and hierarchical labels
Integrate hierarchical abstraction and data‑flow: extend the engine with data‑flow extraction, a pattern‑matching library for scenario mitigations, and attack‑tree structures
Expose backend APIs to the web UI: collaborate with the front‑end specialist to ensure the pipeline’s outputs are accessible in both cloud and on‑prem deployments
Support evaluation and dataset creation: help collect test data, generate multi‑level datasets and contribute to our LLM‑as‑a‑judge evaluation metrics
Collaborate across the stack: work with our STPA‑Sec and formal‑verification leads to integrate mitigation constraints, proofs, and assurance evidence into the backend
