Senior Software Engineer @ Snyk

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.

The Cloud Experience team is responsible for accelerating Snyk’s product development by providing tools, services, and processes for our internal engineering teams. We focus on a wide cross section of engineering needs, including local development and CI tools, application deployment APIs, and operational standards. Our aim is to allow Snyk’s engineers to build reliable, performant, innovative products and bring them to our customers quickly.

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer who has experience working across the development lifecycle in a mature SaaS product organization. Someone who can lead initiatives to improve the SDLC for our engineers, from application development, build and test pipelines, to deployment orchestration across multi-cloud, multi-cluster infrastructure.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

Designing large-scale distributed systems and building software solutions in Golang, such as web service APIs, CLI tools, and Kubernetes operators
Working with Snyk’s engineering teams to help them make best use of our internal platform tools and services. Capturing feedback and requirements to feed into the team’s planning and backlog
Participating in roadmap planning and prioritization
Being involved in the day-to-day Agile practices of the team, striving for predictable and repeatable success
Mentoring and supporting team members, holding interviews to recruit new talent, and ensuring that we foster an environment of growth, partnership, and belonging, in partnership with your Engineering Manager

What You’ll Need:

A passion for engaging with software engineers, hearing their needs and acting on observations and feedback
A deep experience and understanding of the challenges of building and shipping software inside a mature SaaS organization
Extensive experience building software in Go and a commitment to building exceptional quality products for our internal customers
Strong knowledge of Kubernetes and experience building Kubernetes operators and controllers
Experience in knowledge structuring, sharing, and defining best practices for you and your team
Clear communication skills to enable working in highly cross-functional, distributed product teams

We’d be Lucky if You:

Have experience of working in a geographically distributed team
Have experience of working in both software engineer and cloud infrastructure roles
