Technical Lead for Code Reviewer Project

Summary

Join CloudLinux, a global remote-first company, as a Technical Lead to spearhead the development of a robust, multi-language code reviewer. You will leverage agile workflows and code review best practices to build an adaptable tool integrating with various CI/CD pipelines. The role involves collaborating with stakeholders, refining requirements, and ensuring seamless integration with various systems. You will define code review standards, work with development teams to improve processes, and provide comprehensive feedback. Furthermore, you will research and prototype new features, potentially incorporating AI/LLM techniques. This position requires expertise in software engineering, agile methodologies, and advanced code review practices.

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
• Strong experience with Python and hands-on experience in other programming languages (preferably C/C++/PHP/Go) , 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

Responsibilities

• Design and implement a system capable of reviewing code across multiple languages and projects
• Incorporate advanced code analysis techniques (e.g., AST parsing, control flow analysis ) to identify bugs, style inconsistencies, and potential security and performance issues
• 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 (GitHub, GitLab, Gerrit, Jenkins), 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
