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 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.

• Building systems with the long-term in mind, focusing on good design, robust testing, and sustainability from the perspective of cost and scale.
• Supporting our customers by resolving bugs and customer support escalations.
• Communicating thoughtfully, kindly and clearly, both verbally and in the written form.
• Owning decisions throughout the technical process while working directly with other teams or functions across technical and non-technical domains.
• Playing an active part in a Snyk engineering team by working collaboratively with others. Ask questions to learn from others and improve existing skills.

What You’ll Need

• At least 3 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.
• Experience in software systems design, and familiarity with fundamental computer science concepts (algorithms, complexity, data structures).
• Proficiency in at least one of our core programming languages (Go, TypeScript or Python), and a willingness and enthusiasm for learning new languages and technologies.
• Experience in at least one of:
  • Building highly reliable, scalable microservice back-ends for web APIs or applications, or other types of large-scale, high reliability systems.
  • Building web UIs, CLIs or APIs for use by other engineers.
  • Building infrastructure or platform automation, or observability or release tools.
• Demonstrable skill in effective software testing.
• Strong commitment to code quality, and the value of giving and receiving feedback through code reviews.
• Ability to deal with ambiguity, and respond with agility when requirements and priorities change.
• Effective communicator both verbally and in writing.

• Feed off complex technical problems and find solutions where others see roadblocks.
