What is a Software Engineer at Snyk?
A Software Engineer at Snyk plays a pivotal role in building and scaling the industry's leading AI-native developer security platform. Unlike traditional security companies that focus on post-deployment monitoring, Snyk integrates directly into the developer's workflow. This means you will design, build, and maintain high-scale systems that analyze code, dependencies, container images, and cloud infrastructure in real time. Your work will directly empower millions of developers globally to build fast and stay secure, shifting security left in the software development lifecycle.
The engineering challenges at Snyk are uniquely complex, involving massive dependency trees, complex graph traversals, and highly performant API design. As a member of the engineering team, you will work on core products like Snyk Code, Snyk Open Source, and Snyk Container. You will be tasked with building highly reliable, low-latency microservices that can parse and analyze billions of package dependencies while maintaining a seamless user experience.
At Snyk, engineering is deeply collaborative and driven by a strong developer-first culture. You will work in cross-functional teams alongside product managers, security researchers, and site reliability engineers. Whether you are optimizing backend data pipelines, designing developer-friendly APIs, or building secure AI integrations, your contributions will actively shape how modern cloud-native applications are built and secured worldwide.
