Engineering Manager

Unleash AI Innovators, Securely

Software is being rewritten in real time. AI agents are starting to write more code than humans do, at a speed no security team has ever had to match, and that single shift is opening up the biggest opportunity our industry has seen in a decade. We're not bracing for it, we're building the company that owns it.

Snyk is building the next generation security platform where security isn't a set of tools people operate. It's a team of security agents working alongside your engineers, finding, fixing, and governing risk at the speed software is now built. These agents work alongside both the company build and the agents they adopt. Security stops being a queue of work waiting for people, and becomes a coordinated workforce companies direct and trust.

Engineering Manager

We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on engineering manager to lead the Snyk API & Web engineering organisation, a group of several technical teams building key technology capabilities for our product which helps enterprise and non-enterprise customers stay secure.

The role will be focused on solving challenges including:

• How we keep scaling the product as we onboard larger, more demanding enterprise customers, without compromising on reliability or the customer experience.

• Delivering with both velocity and quality: building a robust system, automating as much as we can, and steadily paying down technical debt.

• Keeping support and day-to-day operations sustainable, in close partnership with the product team.

You’ll spend your time:

• setting priorities and direction with the product team, and turning them into plans the teams can execute

• managing engineers across several disciplines

• providing regular feedback, coaching and mentoring, and building a strong engineering culture

• guiding the technical direction through architecture and design reviews, and shaping how the teams build with AI coding agents, from tooling to review practices and quality guardrails

• staying close to customers, including getting directly involved in complex support cases

• owning delivery and operational health

You should apply if you:

• have experience managing and mentoring engineers across several disciplines, ideally including team leads or managers

• have a strong technical background and can challenge and empathise with architectural decisions

• have built and run a SaaS platform for enterprise customers, and are comfortable owning its reliability

• have hands-on experience with AI-assisted development and want to embed AI in how we build, test and operate

• have a track record of delivering with both velocity and quality, and of cultivating a strong engineering culture in an iterative environment

• are comfortable working directly with customers, support, sales and product teams

• can manage multiple priorities and make clear trade-offs

We’d especially love to hear from you if you:

• have worked on application security or other security testing products

• have run a product where a data-heavy backend and a customer-facing web app ship together

• are excited by Snyk’s mission and by applying AI to security testing
