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. As a member of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic environment where fostering collaboration, leading with empathy, driving business impact, and inspiring trust are at the heart of everything we do.
Our Opportunity
The Intelligence Tooling team is responsible for building and maintaining tooling to support the writing of rules for Snyk Code - both tooling used internally by Snyk security analysts and engineers, and also customer accessible tooling via the Snyk Code Custom Rules feature.

Our customer-facing features include front-end and middleware systems, giving Snyk’s customers the ability to write their own detection rules that can be run as part Snyk Code scans and bringing the power of the Snyk Code engine to their own DevSec teams.
