Posted on Tuesday, July 23, 2024

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

Snyk IaC (Infrastructure as Code) is one of the company’s products, designed to help Platform & Infrastructure engineers build secure Cloud Infrastructure for their applications. It does that by scanning IaC code such as Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, and Kubernetes - helping our customers identify security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities as early as possible, as part of their DevSecOps and SDLC.
We are looking for a talented software engineer with a passion for learning and creative problem solving to join the IaC Engineering team. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to enable developers worldwide to build more secure applications efficiently. You will work in and contribute to a collaborative and diverse environment, while leveraging the latest technologies and engineering methodologies. If you feel comfortable programming in Golang and/or Typescript or willing to learn these languages we’d love to meet you.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

  • Collaborating with your team to build our product, being proactive and focusing on iterative incremental delivery.
  • Actively contribute code while also taking full ownership and responsibility for your implemented changes, across the whole technology stack.
  • Working with your team members to create actionable plans to further enhance the team’s product, ways-of-working, and architecture.
  • Solving challenges around reliability, performance, and production bugs.
  • Testing your code comprehensively, from unit-tests throughout E2E testing.
  • Communicate regularly with team-members and other peers across the organization.
  • Applying feedback and new knowledge on a broad scale, clearly communicating how actions enable team progress

What You’ll Need:

  • High engineering standards for code quality, testing, and iterative continuous delivery.
  • Strong Collaboration skills for pair programming, code reviews, and team discussions.
  • Strong Passion for learning new things, working with people, and solving problems.
  • Great communication skills, ability to articulate things clearly.
  • Experience with development environments like Github, CI/CD, CLI tooling, and IDE’s.
  • Experience building full-stack features, and familiarity with their development lifecycle.


We’d be Lucky if You:

  • Have a strong focus on delivering high quality reliable software for SaaS products.
  • Have experience with comprehensive E2E testing and monitoring of applications.
  • Have basic familiarity with one of the major Cloud providers (e.g. AWS, GCP, or Azure) and the Application Security domain.
  • Have deployed production applications on Kubernetes.
  • Are familiar with distributed systems architecture and cloud native applications.

We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
