Our Opportunity

We’re looking for a Security Researcher to join Snyk’s Rules Intelligence team and take part in research-led work developing rules for the Snyk Code SAST engine. We regularly look at new and emerging languages, technologies, and frameworks to better model threats and vulnerabilities in source code, helping developers identify potential security vulnerabilities before their code reaches production.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

  • Writing security rules to detect known and unknown vulnerabilities using a proprietary language and built-for-purpose tooling.
  • Working closely with our Program Analysis and Machine Learning teams to shape our engine capabilities.
  • Learning the mechanics of a programming language or a framework, including looking at best practices and common vulnerable patterns.
  • Working with customers, understanding their pain points and challenges, and helping secure the world’s largest companies.
  • Helping shape our product roadmap and driving innovation and guidance to the business with regards to up-and-coming security risks.
  • Taking part in research endeavors (where applicable), contributing back to the security community and publishing written papers.

What You’ll Need:

  • Demonstrated experience and knowledge of Application Security Vulnerabilities.
  • Proficiency with Python and/or Javascript, as well as some familiarity with OOP languages such as Java or C#.
  • 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:

  • Are experienced working with, developing, or using AppSec tools.
  • Have experience programming or researching low-level languages and vulnerabilities.
  • Are an active participant in “community efforts”, such as CTFs, bug-bounty programs or similar.
  • Have experience researching and (responsibly) disclosing security vulnerabilities or any CVE/paper publications.
