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.

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
