Security Engineer, Vulnerability Modeling (Snyk Code)
As a Security Engineer on the Code Rules team (part of Snyk Code), you sit at the intersection of security research, static analysis, and artificial intelligence. Your mission is to transform deep security insights into scalable, automated intelligence.
The Role
You will be responsible for keeping Snyk at the forefront of the security landscape. This involves researching how new languages and emerging frameworks introduce unique threats and then encoding that knowledge into detection rules that run at scale.
You’ll spend your time:
- Authoring high-precision detection rules using our proprietary logic and domain-specific languages to identify vulnerabilities across various codebases.
- Partnering with Program Analysis experts and software engineers to pioneer new approaches in vulnerability detection, leveraging cross-functional expertise to solve complex security challenges.
- Investigating new technologies to understand how they handle data and security-critical operations.
- Working with customers, understanding their pain points and challenges, and helping secure their code.
What you’ll need:
- A passion for Security as Code and the drive to spend time automating a detection rather than fixing a single instance of a bug.
- An interest in diving into the internals of how languages work—from memory management to how specific frameworks handle state.
- Demonstrated experience and knowledge of Application Security Vulnerabilities.
- Proficiency in a programming language.
- Interest in learning about the mechanics and inner workings of a language or a framework, and the ability to self-study highly technical concepts.
- A passion for cybersecurity, and a desire to contribute and be an active participant in the security community.
We’d be lucky if you:
- Have experience in Static Analysis (SAST), compiler design, or formal methods.
- Are familiar with how modern CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows operate.
- Have a track record of contributing to the broader security community or publishing original research.
We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
