The Composition Analysis team at GitLab sits within our security product area and focuses on building and improving our software composition analysis capabilities across the DevSecOps platform. We own core features such as software composition analysis, container scanning, and related remediation workflows. You'll lead our distributed group of security-focused engineers as we collaborate asynchronously across time zones using GitLab itself for planning, code review, and delivery. Right now, we're focused on advancing capabilities like auto-remediation of vulnerable packages, scanning unmanaged C/C++ dependencies, static reachability analysis at the function level, and snippet detection for open source dependencies.
