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 Staff Software Engineer at Snyk, you will play a significant role in the company's technical leadership. You will set direction and drive consensus with other engineers to transform Snyk’s technical landscape and help build the next generation of technical leaders.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

Analyze, design, and implement high-quality, large-scale solutions to Snyk’s most complex technical problems with a keen eye towards scale, efficiency, reliability, and quality.
Work with peers and across teams to design and implement solutions to large-scale problems.
Communicate regularly in written and verbal forms to team, peers, and senior leads.
You’ll have end-to-end ownership for the delivery of critical efforts, and lead peers in delivering particularly broad efforts as a technical lead.
Mentor junior engineers and help grow the next generation of engineers at Snyk.

What You’ll Need:

At least 7 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.
Experience in large-scale 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.
Highly effective communicator both verbally and in writing at all levels of the organization. Able to work collaboratively, be curious and have a growth mindset.
Track record of working with peers across the organization to deliver solutions outside of their immediate scope.
Ability to lift the performance of a team through coaching and mentoring of more junior engineers
