Job Summary
Welcome to Team LOAF. Our mission is to prevent security vulnerabilities from reaching production by identifying root causes and building scalable solutions that eliminate findings at their source.
What We Do
Team LOAF focuses on systemic security improvement across the organization. We investigate significant vulnerabilities to uncover patterns then build preventative mechanisms that reduce recurrence with minimal builder effort. Rather than simply remediating individual findings we address the underlying causes that generate them at scale.
We prioritize our work based on impact targeting business units with the highest volume severity or concentration of security findings. Our solutions (paved paths secure defaults and reusable components) benefit broad segments of builders across the organization.
How We Work
Our approach combines deep technical analysis with scalable automation:
Root Cause Analysis: We perform thorough investigations of vulnerabilities using both manual research and AI-powered tooling to identify systemic patterns across the security landscape
Preventative Mechanisms: We design and implement frameworks and components that shift security left in the development lifecycle
Security Dashboards: We build dashboards for teams leadership and customers that surface trends highlight risky concentrations and track remediation velocity
AI-Driven Analysis: Were maturing an LLM-based engine to automate pattern detection across large datasets enabling analysis at scale across 75M findings
Cross-Functional Partnership: We collaborate closely with AppSec tooling teams security reviewers and business units to ensure our solutions are both technically sound and practically adopted
