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.

 

 

Joining Snyk means embracing our core values: One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking. As a member of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic environment where fostering collaboration, leading with empathy, driving business impact, and inspiring trust are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer at Snyk you will play a significant role in shaping the technology of Snyk. You will drive consensus with other engineers to build foundational infrastructure at scale, and work with others to ensure it is used broadly and consistently.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

  • Analyzing, designing and implementing high-quality solutions to problems with well-tested, maintainable code.
  • Building systems with the long-term in mind, focusing on good design, robust testing, and sustainability from the perspective of cost and scale.
  • Supporting our customers by resolving bugs and customer support escalations.
  • Designing solutions to problems which typically require multiple engineers to implement.
  • Demonstrating end-to-end ownership for the delivery of key efforts, and leading peers in the delivery of particularly broad efforts as a technical lead.
  • Providing mentorship to more junior engineers, and playing a role in growing the next generation of engineers at Snyk.

What You’ll Need:

  • At least 7 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.
  • Experience in large-scale software systems design, and familiarity with fundamental computer science concepts (algorithms, complexity, data structures).
  • Proficiency in at least one of our core programming languages (Go, TypeScript or Python), and a willingness and enthusiasm for learning new languages and technologies.
  • Experience in at least one of:
    • Building highly reliable, scalable microservice back-ends for web APIs or applications, or other types of large-scale, high reliability systems.
    • Building web UIs, CLIs or APIs for use by other engineers.
    • Building infrastructure or platform automation, or observability or release tools. 
  • Demonstrable skill in effective software testing.
  • Strong commitment to code quality, and the value of giving and receiving feedback through code reviews.
  • Ability to deal with ambiguity, and respond with agility when requirements and priorities change.
  • Effective communicator both verbally and in writing. Able to work collaboratively, be curious and have a growth mindset.
  • Ability to lift the performance of a team through coaching and mentoring of more junior engineers.

We’d be Lucky if You: 

  • Enjoy working on early stage products; talking with customers to identify, prioritize and solve problems iteratively and build something that they really love.
  • Feed off complex technical problems and find solutions where others see roadblocks.
  • Embrace challenges and learn from them
