Luca Beurer-kellner is a Staff Research Engineer based in Zurich with a decade of experience building secure, reliable agentic systems and developer tooling. He co-founded Invariant Labs and serves as its CTO while also holding a staff research role at Snyk, blending startup leadership with applied security research. His background spans compiler and language work, developer tools, and PhD-level research at ETH Zürich, giving him deep expertise in type systems and program analysis. Luca has hands-on experience shipping production compiler and IDE contributions (including work around Eclipse N4JS) as well as building practical security tooling for agentic workflows. He combines rigorous academic training with an operator’s mindset, often translating research prototypes into production-ready systems. Colleagues describe him as someone who moves fluidly between low-level language design and high-level system security without losing sight of developer ergonomics.
