Senior Security Engineer

Every day, the world gets more digital thanks to tens of millions of developers building the future faster than ever. But with exponential growth comes exponential risk, as outnumbered security teams struggle to secure mountains of code. This is where Snyk (pronounced “sneak”) comes in. Snyk is a developer security platform that makes it easy for development teams to find, prioritize, and fix security vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure — and do it all right from the start. Snyk is on a mission to make the world a more secure place by empowering developers to develop fast and stay secure.

 

 

Joining Snyk means embracing our core values: One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking.

You will have a unique opportunity to help build and shape the technical capabilities and the overall infosec program from an early stage. 

You’ll Spend Your Time:

  • Developing and refining signatures used to detect observed and new threats.
  • Defining data requirements and specs for log ingestion for the SIEM.
  • Collaborating with teams across the company on projects designed to improve our overall security posture.

What You’ll Need:

  • Theoretical and practical knowledge of threat hunting in a cloud environment.
  • Excellent technical cybersecurity and engineering/development skills, with experience in using REST APIs to integrate disparate security technologies.
  • Experience responding to, leading, and remediating security incidents. 
  • Strong understanding of cloud computing (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Knowledge of host-based analysis on Mac OS and Linux operating systems. 
  • Use case development/content development within a SIEM. 
  • Experience evaluating and deploying cybersecurity solutions in a public cloud environment (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). 
  • Information security certifications (GCIH, GCFA, GNFA, GREM, GCIA, etc.) 
  • Experience with Bash, Python, and Go. 
  • Familiarity with data analysis / data science techniques for threat detection. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information security, or Information Technology. 

We’d be Lucky if You:
