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.

- Establishing key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure the delivery performance and quality of R&D teams. The success of your team will be evident in the improvement of these KPIs across R&D groups, driven by the tooling and consultancy provided by your team.
- Collaborating with Snyk's R&D teams to optimize their use of the Developer Experience platform. Identify and lead the development of new features and capabilities within this area.
- Leading the team in day-to-day Agile practices, ensuring predictable and repeatable successful outcomes.
- Managing and mentoring your team members, fostering their professional growth and career advancement.
What You’ll Need:
- 2+ years of demonstrated success in managing, mentoring, and growing high-performing engineering teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Strong communication skills - you are someone who thrives in cross-functional environments, building collaborative relationships and incorporating valuable feedback into team plans.
- Experience building and maintaining automation tooling.
- Ability to break down complex problems, analyze data, and lead the team to innovative solutions that align with customer needs.
- Hands-on experience in software development with a strong technical background in cloud, security, DevOps, or developer tools. Familiarity with Snyk’s technology stack, including JavaScript, Node.js, Python, Go, Kubernetes, and Docker, is a plus.
We’d be Lucky if You:
- Are open-minded and willing to challenge the status quo, seeking innovative approaches to building, delivering, and operating infrastructure at scale.
- Are experienced in distributed system architectural challenges.
- Are experienced in working with multiple cloud providers, CI/CD tools, and delivery metrics platforms.
- Enjoy working on early stage products; talking with customers to identify, prioritize and solve problems iteratively and build something that they really love.

What We Do
Snyk leads the category of developer security, whereby development, security, and operations teams effectively collaborate to integrate security throughout the entire software development lifecycle. This approach has disrupted the legacy cybersecurity market, transitioning the industry away from slow, burdensome cybersecurity approaches.
Snyk is the trusted partner of the world’s most innovative enterprises for modern application security, empowering every organization to develop fast and stay secure. We leverage AI-powered security intelligence and automation to reliably secure code from the start—extending the unique shift-left security they pioneered, to built-in governance and holistic risk management—so that companies can unite development and AppSec teams to unleash developer productivity, reduce risk, and accelerate software delivery as they embrace DevOps, cloud, and now AI.
The only way to deliver secure applications at the speed of modern, AI-powered development is to bring security and developers together. This means giving developers real-time security tools that integrate directly into their existing tools and workflows, and giving security teams the controls and insights to view applications holistically. When security becomes a seamlessly integrated part of the development lifecycle, applications can be delivered quickly and securely.
