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

The Intelligence Tooling team is responsible for building and maintaining tooling to support the writing of rules for Snyk Code - both tooling used internally by Snyk security analysts and engineers, and also customer accessible tooling via the Snyk Code Custom Rules feature. Our internal tooling includes backend systems and VS Code plugins, and aims to make our security analysts and researchers more efficient and to magnify their impact. Our customer-facing features include front-end and middleware systems, giving Snyk’s customers the ability to write their own detection rules that can be run as part Snyk Code scans and bringing the power of the Snyk Code engine to their own DevSec teams. 

We are looking for a talented senior software engineer with a passion for creative problem solving to join the Intelligence Tooling team and our journey in building the best tools we can for customers and for Snykers. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to enable developers worldwide to build more secure applications efficiently, and to have a real impact on the efficiency of our analysts. You will work in and contribute to a collaborative and diverse environment, while leveraging the latest development methodologies.
