Software Engineer - Analysis

As a Software Engineer at Snyk, you'll be at the forefront of building the future of application security. You'll be challenged to create high-performance, reliable, and scalable services while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams. We're looking for individuals who are passionate about crafting exceptional software and solving complex problems.

As a part of our Analysis team, you'll work on building the next generation of static code analysis based on a combination of highly-scalable dataflow analysis, a database of the latest security vulnerabilities, and machine learning optimization trained on big code. This is a unique opportunity to help evolve what we call Snyk's DeepCode Engine: the most advanced platform for security code analysis.

You'll spend your time:

• Analyzing, designing and implementing high-quality solutions to problems with well-tested, maintainable code.
• Building systems with the long-term in mind, focusing on good design, robust testing, and sustainability from the perspective of cost and scale.
• Supporting our customers by resolving bugs and customer support escalations.
• Communicating thoughtfully, kindly and clearly, both verbally and in the written form.
• Owning decisions throughout the technical process while working directly with other teams or functions across technical and non-technical domains.
• Playing an active part in a Snyk engineering team by working collaboratively with others. Ask questions to learn from others and improve existing skills.

What you'll need:

• At least 2 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.
• Experience in software systems design, and familiarity with fundamental computer science concepts (algorithms, complexity, data structures).
• Proficiency in at least one of our core programming languages (Go, TypeScript), and a willingness and enthusiasm for learning new languages and technologies.
• Experience in at least one of:
  • Building highly reliable, scalable microservice back-ends for web APIs or applications, or other types of large-scale, high reliability systems.
  • Building web UIs, CLIs or APIs for use by other engineers.
  • Building infrastructure or platform automation, or observability or release tools.
• Demonstrable skill in effective software testing.
• Strong commitment to code quality, and the value of giving and receiving feedback through code reviews.
• Ability to deal with ambiguity, and respond with agility when requirements and priorities change.
• Effective communicator both verbally and in writing.

We'd be lucky if you:

• Are able to work collaboratively, are curious and have a growth mindset.
• Feed off complex technical problems and find solutions where others see roadblocks.
• Embrace challenges and learn from them.

Snyk is committed to creating an inclusive and engaging environment where our employees can thrive. We offer flexible working hours, work-from-home allowances, and various benefits tailored to your location and role.
