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.

Joining Snyk means embracing our core values: One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking. As a member of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic environment where fostering collaboration, leading with empathy, driving business impact, and inspiring trust are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Opportunity

Are you a visionary and experienced Frontend Engineer with deep expertise in building complex user interfaces and a passion for creating innovative user experiences, particularly in the realm of Agentic UX? Do you thrive in high-autonomy environments, innovating like a startup with the resources of a global leader?

You will be instrumental in shaping how users interact with our cutting-edge security solutions, leveraging your strong frontend skills, data visualization expertise, and ability to seamlessly integrate with backend APIs to bring sophisticated agentic workflows to life. Working closely with design, you will drive the technical implementation of tools, MCPs (Management Control Panels), launch agents, just-in-time reports, and other key elements of our Agentic UX. As a technical leader, you'll guide the frontend aspects of a small, senior, cross-functional team and have a significant impact on product usability and adoption.

You’ll Spend Your Time

• Leading the technical design and development of complex and delightful user interfaces, focusing on a rich and intuitive Agentic UX.
• Leverage strong frontend skills in building high-performance, scalable applications and smooth, delightful user interactions.
• Implementing sophisticated data visualizations to enhance user understanding and interaction.

• Driving the technical implementation of key Agentic UX components: tools, MCPs, launch agents, just-in-time reports.
• Ensuring the responsiveness, accessibility, and overall quality of the frontend.
• Partnering and collaborating with a team of acquired and VC backed CEOs and CTOs driving innovation.
  
  

What You’ll Need

• 10+ years of relevant frontend software engineering experience, with a strong focus on complex UI development.
• Deep expertise in modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Motion, Tailwind).
• Proven experience building sophisticated user interfaces and data visualizations.
• Strong understanding of backend, backend-of-frontend, and state management.
• Passion for user-centered design and creating innovative user experiences, ideally with exposure to Agentic UX concepts.
