We have an opening for a software engineer to join our growing team and help
take our Snyk Infrastructure as Code from an early-stage product with huge
potential into a mature offering that stands alongside our core products.
Description
As part of the Infrastructure as Code team you will help us to build products
that enable developers to write secure configurations, and validate them well
before code reaches production. Snyk’s developer-first approach meets
developers where they work and provides fixes that can be directly merged into
code.
We're a small team of ten engineers with a mix of web, security and product
skills and a range of different backgrounds distributed across the UK (UTC)
and Israel (UTC-2).
Our Tech
We work across the Snyk product range from the Snyk CLI tool, Snyk web
application to backend micro-services. We work primarily with TypeScript &
Node and Express with some Go where needed. While we welcome those with
familiarity in these technologies we don't require experience with our stack
to apply, we have team members with backgrounds in all different technologies.
Our web services use Node and Express backed by Postgres and our frontend web
application uses Vue. We use Github for code review + Jest and CircleCI for
testing and continuous integration. Infrastructure is currently managed using
Helm and Kubernetes.
We're looking for someone who
Is a self described software engineer, excited to be part of building a new
product, able to balance technical quality with delivering user value and
working on all areas of the stack from designing features to deployments,
front-end and infrastructure. Who has prior professional experience and a
portfolio of work that they are proud of; for areas where you lack prior
experience you are humble and willing to jump in and learn new skills.
You might work on
* Maintaining and extending our existing services to keep them in line with best practices and new technologies.
* Investigating and addressing performance and scalability concerns across our services as we grow.
* Working with our security engineers to research and support new technologies and environments.
* Identifying potential improvements in our team processes and workflows and driving the changes need to address them.
* Adding new functionality to our Snyk command line tool to better support our customers continuous integration workflows.
* Supporting, mentoring and guiding other engineers through pairing & code review.
* Participating in our on-call rotation, currently one week every three months and compensated.
You may be fit for this role if you
* Have a strong technical background, including 4+ years of professional experience building web services & applications.
* Strong oral and written communication skills and the ability to talk about potentially complex technical concepts in ways that make it easy for others to understand.
* Have a people orientated, team-first mindset and are invested in building a high performing team as much as a successful product.
* Have a high standards and opinions on topics such as code quality, testing and continuous delivery and enjoy working with others to raise the bar.
* Enjoy working on early stage products; talking with customers to identify, prioritise and solve problems iteratively and build something that they really love.
* Are comfortable working in a cross-functional team, working across the stack to deliver new features from ideation to production.
We value building a team with a diverse set of backgrounds and experience.
This list is not an exhaustive list of skills we're looking for, nor should
you feel like you need to meet all of them to apply.
We would especially love to hear from you if you
* Have strong proficiency with Typescript and/or Go.
* Have production-grade experience with Kuberenetes or have worked with any of the popular cloud platform offerings from Google, Amazon and Microsoft Azure.
* Have a demonstrable track record of project leadership and mentorship of software engineers.
* Have a strong community involvement (open-source, conferences, meet-ups, etc).
