Saral Jain is an engineering executive with over 15 years of experience who serves as the SVP of Engineering at Snap Inc., after nearly a decade leading engineering teams at Amazon Web Services. Tasked with redefining how a billion-user platform ships in the AI era, he guides the engineering vision for Snapchat's product experiences, infrastructure, and generative AI platforms. Saral oversees a multidisciplinary engineering organization focused on speed, quality, and creative innovation, and his leadership has been central to Snap's evolution from a disappearing-photos app into an AI-native ecosystem where visual communication, augmented reality, and agentic development intersect.

At Snapchat, Saral drives the design and launch of highly automated, AI-powered systems built to help teams ship faster without compromising quality. He recently spearheaded the rollout of Snap's internal AI platforms, including CodePal, a code review agent that reviews more than 90% of code within five minutes, and Casper, an AI teammate any team can invoke from Slack to build working prototypes from a conversation. With a deep commitment to turning AI adoption into tangible business impact, Saral specializes in aligning cross-functional teams to build advanced, scalable technologies that empower nearly a billion Snapchatters to create, communicate, and connect seamlessly.
