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.
Snyk is looking for a seasoned Developer Advocate to teach developers about security pitfalls of vibe coding, and make Snyk highly popular among developers as the leading AI Security platform. This is a local role based in San Francisco.
Why this role?
Snyk is the leader and market disruptor in developer-first security, helping developers secure their code, their dependencies, containers and application deployments. As software engineering re-shapes with AI, so is Snyk, building an AI-powered platform to secure AI-driven coding, AI-native workflows, and supporting organizations to adopt AI in a trusted and secure environment.
Do you want to join Snyk’s mission in securing the world’s code and make Snyk a popular brand by developers and security professionals?
We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on, self-directed, and high-agency Developer Advocate to actively engage, grow, and build the AI Security Engineering developer community of Snyk users and AI developers. You will actively drive AI security awareness and adoption, powered by Snyk’s AI Security platform, to find and fix security vulnerabilities in applications built with AI.
As the Snyk Developer Advocate:
Make developers and security experts love and adopt Snyk!
You will deliver AI security workshops that use demo applications and popular coding agents to teach developers how to use AI and how to secure AI-generated code using Snyk’s AI Security platform.
