You'll spend your time: 

• Building innovative solutions that extend Snyks capabilities

You should apply if you have:

• Experience doing content development for secure coding standards
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

We'd especially love to hear from you if you have:

• 5+ years of experience working in securing cloud platforms
• Practical knowledge of common threats and exposures to web apps and services
• Strong interest and experience in offensive security techniques
• Experience working with architecture teams establishing common good practices
• Information security certifications (OSCP, OSCE, AWAE, CKS, SANS)
• Experience with either Golang, Python, Scala, Rust, TypeScript
• Familiarity with data analysis / data science techniques
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information security, or Information Technology

We value diversity at Snyk, and would particularly encourage applications from those who are traditionally underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you're the right person, please apply anyway!
