No developer should have to choose between security and reliability. We will ensure that Snyk is dependable, with a reliable track record that encourages developers to embed Snyk in their workflows.

You will join a team that owns the reliability (SLOs) of key customer workflows and runs the applications that most influence Snyk’s reliability. You will be responsible for building a culture of high standards around reliability, observability, and resilience practices.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

• Pair-programming to collaboratively improve the services that power Snyk
• Establishing SLIs and SLOs for the key customer workflows that your team owns
• Diagnosing the factors that most threaten SLOs and identifying necessary improvements.
• Improving observability, measurement and diagnostics for key customer SLIs and SLOs. Creating and fine tuning error budgets, with dashboards and alerts to monitor them
• Reducing time to recover with faster deployment lead times
• Improving application design to partition workloads by customer criticality
• Sharing the practices and tooling you develop across other engineering teams
• Implementing capacity management and load testing capabilities for core services
• Working with teams to ensure that monitoring and alerting are instrumented to be customer impact focused. The goal is that no one should get out of bed at 3am for non-customer facing issues
• Raising the bar on Production Readiness, Incident response and analysis, and working with R&D teams to meet this bar
• Participating in our on-call rotation (compensated)

What You’ll Need:

• Enjoy working as part of a team and teaching others
• Experience with infrastructure as code
• Familiarity with establishing SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and metrics on a variety of user flows
• Have experience with software engineering and systems engineering
• Experience working with production databases
• Have experience with reducing toil required by internal teams through building and maintaining automation and observability tooling
• Experience of operational best practices including incident response and analysis
• Have experience running and operating software on Kubernetes

We’d be Lucky if You:

• Are passionate about all things security and reliability
• Are familiar with one of Typescript, Go
• Are familiar with Datadog, statsd

About Snyk

Snyk’s mission is to help developers use open source code and stay secure.

The use of open source is booming, but security is a key concern (https://snyk.io/stateofossecurity/). Snyk’s unique product enables developers and enterprise security teams to continuously find & fix vulnerable dependencies without slowing down, offering seamless integration into Dev, DevOps and DevSecOps workflows. We care deeply about the quality and usefulness of the tools we develop, always focusing on our customers and users.

We are experiencing rapid growth - and we want you to join us! By the end of Q3 2019 alone, Snyk was already adopted by over 450,000 developers, and including multiple enterprise customers (such as Google, New Relic, ASOS and others). We also raised an additional $200 Million, announced on September 9, 2020, from investors such as Stripes and Salesforce Ventures, demonstrating that they are as excited as we are by Snyk’s progress and potential.

We believe open source software is a force for good, and we’re building Snyk to make it easier for developers who aren’t security experts to stay secure
