    2. Responsible for Prompt Engineering optimization, context construction, and result verification to continuously improve the Precision and Recall of the detection engine.
    3. Explore and implement cutting-edge technologies like RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), Multi-agent collaboration, and Chain-of-Thought in security auditing scenarios.

  2. Engineering & Platform Services
    1. Design a high-availability and scalable service architecture to support large-scale, high-concurrency code scanning tasks.
    2. Provide standardized APIs for detection capabilities; build comprehensive systems for rule management, result visualization, and false-positive feedback loops (Human-in-the-loop).
