You will be involved with the Python community to understand the problems with static analysis tools in the ecosystem.

As a member of the Language Engineering team, you will,

  • Identify bad code practices in Python and write new analyzers to detect them.
  • Improve the coverage of automatically fixable issues.
  • Ensure fewer false-positives are reported by the analyzer.
  • Work on the internal tools that support analysis runtimes.
  • Contribute to open-source static analysis tools.
