AI agents are starting to write more code than humans do, at a speed no security team has ever had to match, and that single shift is opening up the biggest opportunity our industry has seen in a decade. We're not bracing for it, we're building the company that owns it.\nSnyk is building the next generation security platform where security isn't a set of tools people operate. It's a team of security agents working alongside your engineers, finding, fixing, and governing risk at the speed software is now built. These agents work alongside both the company build and the agents they adopt. Security stops being a queue of work waiting for people, and becomes a coordinated workforce companies direct and trust.\nStaff Incubation Engineer\nSnyk | Incubation Accelerator\nWhy this role?\nSnyk’s Incubation Accelerator is seeking a Staff Incubation Engineer to join our innovative team, building transformative products from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to operate with the agility of a startup, while leveraging Snyk’s extensive infrastructure, customer reach, and industry insights.\nAs a Staff Incubation Engineer, you will be at the forefront of technical innovation, tackling complex engineering challenges to develop a new product. This role demands full-stack development expertise, a strong grasp of system architecture for AI applications, and end-to-end ownership of the product lifecycle, from rapid prototyping to large-scale deployment. You will operate in a lean, agile environment, iterating rapidly on solutions to achieve product-market fit.\nWhat You’ll Do\nFull-Stack Product Development: Design, develop, and implement scalable, high-performance software solutions from scratch, covering both frontend and backend components.\n\nSystem Architecture & Design: Architect flexible, scalable, and secure systems, ensuring robust, maintainable, and high-quality codebases.\n\nRapid Prototyping & Iteration: Build rapid prototypes to validate ideas, iterate on feedback, and pivot quickly to achieve the best product-market fit.\n\nAI Agent Development: Design, develop, and deploy intelligent AI agents and autonomous systems, focusing on their integration into new product offerings.\n\nPerformance Optimization: Analyze and optimize system performance, ensuring high availability, low latency, and efficient resource utilization.\n\nCloud-Native Deployment: Design and deploy cloud-native applications leveraging modern infrastructure, including containerization and microservices architecture.\n\nAgile Development & CI/CD: Operate within a lean, agile environment, utilizing continuous integration and delivery pipelines to accelerate development cycles.\n\nCross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineering teams to ensure cohesive product development and alignment with business goals.\n\nTechnical Leadership & Mentorship: Foster a culture of high ownership, creativity, and technical excellence.\n\nWhat You Bring\nDeep experience in AI/ML systems, including deploying intelligent agents using agentic or multi-agent architectures, with foresight for future needs and strategic alignment.\n\nStrong proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., Python, Golang, NodeJS) and frameworks, applying them to innovative products.\n\nExperience with agile and CI/CD, with autonomy to streamline processes for efficient delivery in a fast-paced environment.\n\nIt’d Be Awesome If You Also…\nAre genuinely excited by the prospect of working on early-stage products, engaging directly with customers to rapidly identify, prioritize, and iteratively solve problems to build truly beloved solutions.\n\nThrive in the face of complex, ambiguous technical challenges, consistently finding innovative solutions where others might see roadblocks, and embracing the iterative nature of startup development.\n\nAbout Snyk\nSnyk is committed to creating an inclusive and engaging environment where our employees can thrive as we rally behind our common mission to make the digital world a safer place.
