Job Details

Every day, the world gets more digital thanks to tens of millions of developers building the future faster than ever. But with exponential growth comes exponential risk, as outnumbered security teams struggle to secure mountains of code. This is where Snyk (pronounced “sneak”) comes in. Snyk is a developer security platform that makes it easy for development teams to find, prioritize, and fix security vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure — and do it all right from the start. Snyk is on a mission to make the world a more secure place by empowering developers to develop fast and stay secure.

  • Coaching direct reports through productive feedback, building on strengths and addressing areas of development.
  • Helping the team learn, adapt and improve upon agile and lean methodologies. You’ll help the team understand and maintain a balance between delivery speed and product quality.
  • You’ll be responsible for the team’s on-call process and rota, and be a point of escalation for incidents. 
  • You’ll be a key part of applying our Product Led Growth practices to identify, measure and constantly improve our platform through experimentation.
  • Partaking in hands-on coding as needed, including code reviews.

What You’ll Need:

  • To excel in cross-functional collaboration and communication.
  • Possess a solid understanding of system architecture and design.
  • Demonstrate problem-solving abilities in complex technical environments.
  • A track record of delivering high-quality, scalable software solutions.
