Remote Full-Stack Lead Engineer for Code Reviewer Project

Description:

• We are seeking a senior software engineer to lead the development of a robust, multi-language code reviewer.
• The ideal candidate should excel in agile workflows, code review best practices, and software engineering life cycles.
• You will work with stakeholders to refine requirements and deliver an adaptable review tool that integrates seamlessly with various CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, GitHub, Gerrit, Jenkins) and supports deep code analysis—potentially leveraging AI/LLM techniques where beneficial.
• Key responsibilities include designing and implementing a system capable of reviewing code across multiple languages and projects, incorporating advanced code analysis techniques to identify bugs, style inconsistencies, and potential security and performance issues.
• You will ensure the reviewer can be extended or customized based on evolving requirements from diverse teams.
• Employ agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) to plan, track, and iterate on new features.
• Integrate seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, making the reviewer easily adoptable by various R&D teams.
• Collaborate with DevOps to ensure smooth deployment and maintenance.
• Define and maintain code review standards, including style guidelines, security checks, and performance considerations.
• Work with development teams to refine pull/merge request processes, fostering a culture of high-quality code.
• Provide comprehensive review feedback and assist in automating repetitive checks to streamline manual review efforts.
• Engage with stakeholders and engineering teams to gather feedback and requirements, communicate progress clearly, and adapt the solution based on iterative input.
• Advocate for best practices, teaching others how to maximize the value of automated reviews.
• Investigate emerging tools and methodologies in static analysis, linting, and machine learning for potential integration.
• Prototype new features or approaches including AI/LLM usage for code reviewing and unstructured data handling.

Requirements:

• Proven ability to take a project from concept through to production, including requirements gathering, design, testing, and maintenance.
• Experience with Jira (or similar) for task management, sprint planning, and reporting.
• Comfortable with iterative development, frequent releases, and fast feedback cycles.
• Proficiency in Git-based workflows (GitHub, GitLab, or Gerrit) and CI/CD setups (Jenkins, etc.).
• Strong knowledge of how to integrate automated checks and tests into pipelines.
• In-depth understanding of what makes a code review effective, including detection of security vulnerabilities, logical errors, performance bottlenecks, and style issues.
• Familiarity with AST-based or control-flow techniques to enable deeper analysis.
• Competency in at least one major language (e.g., Python, Java, C++, JavaScript), with an awareness of common design patterns, best practices, and typical pitfalls across various tech stacks.
• Ability to independently explore new libraries or methods—especially around static analysis and potential AI-based enhancements—to continually improve the reviewer.
• Nice-to-have: Experience applying Large Language Models or other AI/ML techniques to code analysis.
• Nice-to-have: Prior work extending or tailoring static analysis tools to match domain-specific requirements.
• Nice-to-have: Background in detecting performance regressions or security vulnerabilities through automated scanning and analysis.
• Nice-to-have: Comfortable with rapid change, limited requirements, and tight delivery timelines.

Benefits:

• A focus on professional development.
• Interesting and challenging projects.
• Fully remote work with flexible working hours, allowing you to schedule your day and work from any location worldwide.
• Paid 24 days of vacation per year, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leaves.
• Compensation for private medical insurance.
• Co-working and gym/sports reimbursement.
• Budget for education.
• The opportunity to receive a reward for the most innovative idea that the company can patent.
