Job description

Snyk is the leader in secure AI software development, helping millions of developers develop fast and stay secure as AI transforms how software is built. 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 Senior Software Engineer, you'll play a significant role in shaping the technology at Snyk. You will work within a collaborative, forward-thinking team to build foundational, scalable infrastructure and ensure its broad adoption. This is an exciting opportunity to influence our core technology and tackle complex engineering challenges at scale.

What You'll Do:

• Analyze, design, and implement high-quality, well-tested solutions to complex problems.

• Lead key efforts from idea to execution, demonstrating end-to-end ownership.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure our infrastructure is used broadly and consistently.

• Mentor and coach junior engineers, helping to grow the next generation of talent at Snyk.

• Build systems with a long-term mindset, focusing on design, robust testing, and scalability.

• Resolve critical bugs and customer support escalations to ensure a high-quality user experience.

What You Bring:

• You have at least 7 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.

• You bring expertise in large-scale software systems design and a solid understanding of fundamental computer science concepts.

• You are proficient in at least one of our core programming languages (Go, TypeScript, or Python).

• You have experience building highly reliable, scalable systems, whether they are microservice back-ends, web UIs, or platform automation tools.

• You have a strong commitment to code quality and the value of giving and receiving feedback.

• You are a clear and effective communicator, able to deal with ambiguity and work collaboratively.

It'd Be Awesome If You Also…

• Enjoy working on early-stage products and talking with customers to solve their problems.

• Love tackling complex technical challenges and finding solutions where others see roadblocks.

• Are comfortable with a hybrid work schedule and engaging with a team in person.

• Embrace challenges and learn from them.

• Have a great sense of humor! We take our mission seriously, but not ourselves.
