Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era, while boosting productivity and reducing business risk. We value One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking.

Our Opportunity: As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll shape how modern organizations build and secure software at scale. You’ll join a collaborative, forward-thinking team and help embed security into every part of the AI-native development lifecycle.

  • Managing data pipelines to support high-volume data streams.
  • Designing solutions that typically require multiple engineers to implement.
  • Demonstrating end-to-end ownership for delivery of key efforts, and leading peers as a technical lead on broad initiatives.
  • 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.
