Our AI-native Developer Security Platform integrates seamlessly into development and security workflows, making it easy to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities — from code and dependencies to containers and cloud.

Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era — boosting productivity while reducing business risk. We’re not your average security company - we build Snyk on One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking.

It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world.

Why this role?

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in shaping how modern organizations build and secure software at scale. You’ll join a collaborative, forward-thinking team and help drive our mission to embed security into every part of the AI-native development lifecycle.

As a part of our teams you’ll have the opportunity to make an impact on a wide range of projects, from mastering existing services to building new, cutting-edge features. Your contributions will directly impact the success of our products and the security of millions of developers worldwide.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead the design and implementation of highly reliable, large-scale solutions to our most complex technical problems.
  • Drive consensus with peers and senior leads to define and implement solutions for large-scale engineering challenges.
  • Take end-to-end ownership for critical efforts, acting as a technical lead to deliver broad, cross-functional projects.
  • Mentor and coach junior engineers, helping to grow the next generation of technical leaders at Snyk.
  • Communicate regularly and effectively to ensure alignment with team, peers, and senior leadership.

What You Bring:

  • You have at least 10 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.
  • You have experience in large-scale software systems design, with a strong grasp of computer science fundamentals.
  • You are proficient in at least one of our core programming languages (Go, TypeScript), with a willingness to learn new technologies.
  • You have a strong commitment to code quality and the value of giving and receiving feedback through code reviews.
  • You are a highly effective communicator, able to work collaboratively, be curious, and have a growth mindset.

It’d Be Awesome If You Also…

  • Have a proven track record of leading projects and inspiring engineering teams to achieve results.
  • Have hands-on experience with Kubernetes or major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Contribute to open-source projects and share your knowledge with the developer community.
  • Embrace the cloud-native world and have experience with Docker.
  • Love solving complex technical problems and finding solutions where others see roadblocks.
  • Have a sense of humour — we take our mission seriously, but not ourselves!
