Job description

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

As a Software Engineer at Snyk, you'll be at the forefront of building the future of application security. You’ll be challenged to create high-performance, reliable, and scalable services while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams. We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about crafting exceptional software and solving complex problems.

As a part of our Analysis team you’ll work on building the next generation of static code analysis based on a combination of highly-scalable dataflow analysis, a database of the latest security vulnerabilities, and machine learning optimization trained on big code. This is a unique opportunity to help evolve what we call Snyk’s DeepCode Engine: the most advanced platform for security code analysis.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

• Analyzing, designing and implementing high-quality solutions to problems with well-tested, maintainable code.
• 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), 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.

We’d be Lucky if You:

• Able to work collaboratively, are curious and have a growth mindset.
• Feed off complex technical problems and find solutions where others see roadblocks.
• Embrace challenges and learn from them.

We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
