Senior Solutions Architect

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.

With a deep understanding of the enterprise customer’s environment and requirements, you will also work closely with the Product organization to innovate on product direction and design, rapid prototyping of solutions that can become full-fledged features or capabilities.

• Creating and presenting technical proposals, architecture diagrams, and documentation to clients and stakeholders.
• Performing requirements analysis and feasibility for Professional Services opportunities

• Clearly and concisely communicating technical risks and blockers to internal stakeholders.
• Building deep relationships with senior technical individuals within the customer organization to enable them to be Snyk advocates

• Creating and contributing to customer-facing publications and reference architectures that exhibit high levels of performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Maintaining technical skills and knowledge of market trends and competitive insights; collaborate and share with the technical community.

What You’ll Need:

• 5+ years of experience in technical consulting, software implementation
• Leveraging AI-powered tools to automate the generation of customer-specific integration code snippets and configurations, accelerating deployment timelines.
• Employing AI-driven analysis of customer environments to proactively identify potential security vulnerabilities and recommend optimal Snyk configurations.
• Proven track record of successfully architecting and implementing cloud solutions for diverse clients.
• Experience communicating across technical and non-technical audiences, including executive-level stakeholders or customers. This includes the ability to write high-quality documentation for both internal and external audiences.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a passion for helping customers be successful.
• Ability to scope and document business and functional requirements
• Bachelor’s Degree (CS/IT/Eng/ITSec) or equivalent experience.
• Ability to write code both independently and in a paired programming fashion. You should be comfortable writing Shell scripts and writing more advanced scripts in Python or JavaScript.
• Good understanding of software development, SDLC, and DevOps methodologies
• Hands-on working experience using git-based SCM tools (ex: GitHub, Gitlab, etc...) to track and manage code changes, as well as the integration and deployment of those changes to production with CI/CD tools (ex: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc...)
• Proficient in using the Unix/Linux command line.
• Ability to deliver work on time, and proactively identify risks or blockers to the project when a timeline will not be met.
