Job Description
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.
About The Role
As a Data Engineer on our team, you will be responsible for transforming complex raw data into refined "data offerings" that empower the entire company. You won’t just be building pipelines in a vacuum; you will work as a strategic partner alongside analysts, product owners, and business leaders to ensure our data is intuitive, consistent, and ready for the next generation of data consumption.
We are a team that values speed and high-leverage work. You should be an engineer who is not only comfortable with but enthusiastic about leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate your workflow. You will play a key role in defining our central logic layer—ensuring that how we measure and talk about the business is standardized, interoperable, and easily accessible across the organization.
You Will:
Collaborate Across the Business: Partner with a diverse range of stakeholders to translate ambiguous business requirements into robust, scalable data architectures.
Build the Logic Layer: Design and manage the central semantic models that serve as the single source of truth for our core business metrics.
Accelerate with AI: Proactively use AI-assisted tools (such as GitHub Copilot or LLMs) to streamline code generation, automate documentation, and perform rigorous testing to move faster without sacrificing quality.
Drive Data Usability: Simplify the complexity of our data ecosystem by building data products that are easy for both humans and automated systems to navigate.
Ensure Integrity: Implement automated testing and observability frameworks to maintain high data accuracy and trust across the organization.
Enable Modern Use Cases: Optimize data structures to support emerging ways of interacting with data, focusing on interoperability and seamless access across different platforms.
You Have:
3+ years of experience in a data engineering, analytics engineering, or high-level data architecture role.
Expertise in SQL: A deep understanding of how to write clean, performant, and modular code to transform data at scale.
An Efficiency Mindset: A track record of using modern tools to automate repetitive tasks and a genuine curiosity about how AI can enhance the engineering lifecycle.
A "Product" Mindset: A track record of working closely with stakeholders to turn business needs into actionable data plans and models.
Systems Thinking: Experience building data models that prioritize consistency, reusability, and clear documentation.
Bonus Points:
Experience with Snowflake or dbt.
Familiarity with building or maintaining a centralized semantic/metrics layer.
Hands-on experience integrating AI-assisted development into your daily coding workflow.
Proficiency in a scripting language such as Python.
We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
