The Engineering Manager will lead a team of software engineers, co-develop the team roadmap, support onboarding, provide feedback, and ensure agile methodologies are followed while managing incidents and contributing to coding tasks.
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.

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

- Help the team learn, adapt and improve upon agile and lean methodologies. You’ll help the team understand and maintain a balance between delivery speed and product quality.
- You’ll be responsible for the team’s on-call process and rota, and be a point of escalation for incidents.
- You’ll be a key part of applying our Product Led Growth practices to identify, measure and constantly improve our platform through experimentation.
- Partake in hands-on coding as needed, including code reviews.
