Our Opportunity: As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll shape how modern organizations build and secure software at scale.

- Supporting customers by resolving bugs and handling customer support escalations.
- Focusing on long-term sustainability by building systems with robust testing, good design, and consideration for cost and scale.
- Mentoring junior engineers and helping grow the next generation of engineers at Snyk.
What You’ll Need
- At least 5 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.
- Experience in large-scale software systems design and fundamentals of computer science (algorithms, complexity, data structures).
- Proficiency in at least one core language (Go, TypeScript) and willingness to learn new languages and technologies.
- Experience in building reliable, scalable microservice back-ends for web APIs or large-scale systems, or building web UIs, CLIs, or APIs for use by other engineers, or building infrastructure, platform automation, observability, or release tools.
- Demonstrable skill in effective software testing.
- Strong commitment to code quality and the value of code reviews.
- Ability to deal with ambiguity and adapt to changing requirements and priorities.
- Effective verbal and written communication; collaborative, curious, growth-minded.
- Ability to lift a team’s performance through mentoring more junior engineers.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, AWS/GCP, Postgres, and Kafka.
- Experience with database scaling.
- Experience with early-stage products, customer interactions to identify and solve problems, and delivering iteratively.
