The Runtime Insights Team is at the forefront of leveraging runtime data to enhance Snyk's products, such as Software Composition Analysis (Snyk Open Source) and Static Application Security Testing (Snyk Code) . Our mission is to deliver actionable insights by using technologies like eBPF and code-to-cloud correlation to bridge the gap between runtime behavior and software vulnerabilities.

  • Understanding, breaking down, clarifying and tackling ambiguous design choices. 
  • Championing team members to grow and improve their technical skills. 
  • Identifying conflicts with other groups and seek resolutions that improve on what either group did on their own.
  • Assuring that internal SLOs for our service architecture are met by the group's external interfaces and APIs. 
  • Driving improvements to the stability, performance and security across the group's 4-year evolution.
  • Actively engaging in coding.
  • Driving collaboration across the group. Build trust between teammates, stakeholders, and other engineers. 
  • Proactively identifying potential challenges across the group, drive solutions to them, and influence implementation.
  • Modelling sustainable working for the group, making incremental and predictable changes.
  • Engaging engineers across the group and enable them to try new ideas and learn from trial and error (e.g. post-mortems).
  • Growing good engineers into great engineers.

What You’ll Need:

  • Experience working with one of our development languages (Typescript, Go), or are a polyglot with experience learning a new language.
  • At least 10 years of software engineering experience, leading and mentoring engineers.
  • Understand the importance of automated testing (maybe with experience in TDD) and code quality.
  • Prioritize collaboration, pair programming, and code reviews.
  • Work sustainably and iteratively, delivering high quality code using continuous delivery.
  • Are comfortable working across the stack as part of a cross-functional team.
  • Be approachable and friendly; an excellent communicator.
  • Promote testing as a natural part of any coding effort.

We’d be Lucky if You: 

  • Like to start new things, see them through to production, and learn from your mistakes
  • Love working in a fast-paced start-up environment that respects its engineers and customers.
  • Enjoy solving complex technical problems.
  • Feel comfortable working with uncertainties and unknowns.
