It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world.

What You’ll Do:
  • Lead the design and implementation of highly reliable, large-scale solutions to our most complex technical problems.
  • Drive consensus with peers and senior leads to define and implement solutions for large-scale engineering challenges.
  • Take end-to-end ownership for critical efforts, acting as a technical lead to deliver broad, cross-functional projects.
  • Mentor and coach junior engineers, helping to grow the next generation of technical leaders at Snyk.
  • Communicate regularly and effectively to ensure alignment with team, peers, and senior leadership.
What You Bring:
  • You have at least 10 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.
  • You have experience in large-scale software systems design, with a strong grasp of computer science fundamentals.
  • You are proficient in at least one of our core programming languages (Go, TypeScript), with a willingness to learn new technologies.
  • You have a strong commitment to code quality and the value of giving and receiving feedback through code reviews.
  • You are a highly effective communicator, able to work collaboratively, be curious, and have a growth mindset.
It’d Be Awesome If You Also…
  • Have a proven track record of leading projects and inspiring engineering teams to achieve results.
  • Have hands-on experience with Kubernetes or major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Contribute to open-source projects and share your knowledge with the developer community.
  • Embrace the cloud-native world and have experience with Docker.
  • Love solving complex technical problems and finding solutions where others see roadblocks.
  • Have a sense of humour — we take our mission seriously, but not ourselves!
