Snyk is the leader in secure AI software development, helping millions of developers develop fast and stay secure as AI transforms how software is built. Our AI-native Developer Security Platform integrates seamlessly into development and security workflows, making it easy to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities — from code and dependencies to containers and cloud.

Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era — boosting productivity while reducing business risk. We’re not your average security company - we build Snyk on One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking.

It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world.

Distributed Systems Engineer — Git & Source Control Infrastructure

The Mission

At Snyk, we manage the lifecycle of all monitored repositories. Our group builds the foundational services that provide standardized, secure access to our customers’ source code repositories.

We solve the challenge of acquiring and preparing hundreds of millions of files for Snyk’s analysis engines at scale. We also own the Ingress (webhooks) of SCM events and the Egress that acts as the path for requests out to cloud and on-prem SCMs.

The Tech

We write our services in Go (with an eye on Rust for performance-critical needs). We run on K8s and focus on high availability and system-wide abstraction.

What We Look For

Experience and interest in Distributed Systems Design and Cloud Infrastructure and a passion for building high-leverage foundational services.

The ability to communicate complex ideas through written clarity. We use shared 1-pagers, design documents and delivery plans to refine ideas and align before coding

High autonomy and long-term ownership. As an engineer in the team, you will own a problem and be entrusted to design, deliver and support the solution.
