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.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

  • Analyzing requirements, specifications, and technical design documents in preparation for development.
  • Develop backend components that support new or existing features.
  • Working with the different teams to discuss and implement technical solutions, and fix and identify bugs.
  • Implementing tests for any developed code.
  • Reviewing and testing teammate's code.

What You’ll Need:

  • At least 5 years of professional experience as a Backend Engineer, Software Developer, or similar role.
  • Strong experience with Python 
  • 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.
  • An ability to lift the performance of a team through coaching and mentoring of more junior engineers.
  • Effective communicator both verbally and in writing. 

We’d be Lucky if You: 

  • An interest in and knowledge of security concepts is valued.
  • Enjoy 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.
