## Description

Software is being rewritten in real time. 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. Snyk 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.

**Staff Incubation Engineer**

Snyk'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.

As 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.

**Responsibilities**

- Full-Stack Product Development: Design, develop, and implement scalable, high-performance software solutions from scratch, covering both frontend and backend components.

- System Architecture & Design: Architect flexible, scalable, and secure systems, ensuring robust, maintainable, and high-quality codebases.

- Rapid Prototyping & Iteration: Build rapid prototypes to validate ideas, iterate on feedback, and pivot quickly to achieve the best product-market fit.

- AI Agent Development: Design, develop, and deploy intelligent AI agents and autonomous systems, focusing on their integration into new product offerings.

- Performance Optimization: Analyze and optimize system performance, ensuring high availability, low latency, and efficient resource utilization.

- Cloud-Native Deployment: Design and deploy cloud-native applications leveraging modern infrastructure, including containerization and microservices architecture.

- Agile Development & CI/CD: Operate within a lean, agile environment, utilizing continuous integration and delivery pipelines to accelerate development cycles.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineering teams to ensure cohesive product development and alignment with business goals.

- Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Foster a culture of high ownership, creativity, and technical excellence.

**Requirements**

- Deep experience in AI/ML systems, including deploying intelligent agents using agentic or multi-agent architectures, with foresight for future needs and strategic alignment.

- Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., Python, Golang, NodeJS) and frameworks, applying them to innovative products.

- Experience with agile and CI/CD, with autonomy to streamline processes for efficient delivery in a fast-paced environment.

**Nice to Have**

- Are 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.

- Thrive 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.
