I think the OP is talking about implementing automated security testing in a CI/CD pattern. Basic versions would be implementing automated scanning using something like skipfish. More advanced would actually be security-specific unit

There are several languages that compile to javascript that are worth checking out: Dart or Typescript would be worth looking into (Coffeescript is probably the most famous example, but doesn't sound like what you're looking for)

Yes, prepare your resume. I don't know specifically about TPG, but in general the MO of private equity firms is to cut costs, which means layoffs and removing perks. Reasons to stay? Buyouts or bonuses.
