VS Code Extension Developer – Internship (PPO → Founding Engineer Track)
Location: Remote / Bangalore
Type: Internship (3–6 Months) with PPO & Potential Founding Engineer Role for exceptional performance
About Us We are a fast-scaling cybersecurity startup working with top fintech companies and banks in India, building a next-gen developer-first security platform that integrates directly into IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime systems.
Our goal is to redefine how developers think about security, and the VS Code Extension will be a core part of that experience.
Role You'll build a production-grade VS Code Extension, tightly integrated with our security analysis APIs, delivering inline vulnerability insights, quick-fix suggestions, and intelligent developer guidance right inside the editor.
What You’ll Build Full-fledged VS Code extension with custom views, diagnostics, hover tooltips, commands, and config panels.
API integration with our GraphQL/REST backend for live vulnerability feedback.
Context-aware UX for developer-first security workflow.
Extensions can later expand to JetBrains plugin ecosystem — you may lead that too.
Ideal Candidate Must have previously built a VS Code Extension — GitHub or Marketplace link required.
Strong in TypeScript, Node.js, Extension API, and event-driven architecture.
Understands developer experience and designs for usability, not just functionality.
Bonus: Familiar with static analysis, AST tools, or code parsing.
Why This Internship is Different Your extension will ship to real developers at fintechs and banks, not just a demo project.
Work directly with the founding team, not a large engineering hierarchy.
PPO Opportunity — and exceptional candidates may be offered Founding Engineer track with equity + high ownership.
Build something that becomes a core developer experience layer in our platform.
