Engineering Manager in City of London

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.

We’re seeking an experienced and collaborative engineering manager to lead a software development team. This role will appeal to you if you are passionate about exposing functionalities through efficient programmatic interfaces and developing developer-friendly APIs that ensure consistency in upstream processes and foster future innovation, all while managing millions of requests and handling large volumes of data. This is a high-impact, strategic role for a leader who is excited by complex technical challenges. You will be instrumental in evolving our core technology to power the next generation of developer security tools, including our AI-powered remediation capabilities.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

• You’ll be accountable for co-developing the team roadmap and supporting technical direction ultimately.
• Drive the team’s successful delivery of the sprint, quarterly plan, and long term goals. Track plan progression and identify gaps and future requirements. Communicate status and course correction suggestions.
• Establish clear goals and KPIs for individuals and the team, provide ongoing coaching, and implement processes to enable forward movement of the team.
• You will be accountable for ensuring new team members are onboarded, effectively contributing to the expected level + supporting existing team members to do their best work.
• People - you’ll be responsible for the hiring of any new members in your team, onboarding and training great engineers. You’ll be involved in career development, pay, promotion and performance reviews.
• Processes - you’ll help the team learn, adapt and improve upon agile and lean methodologies. You’ll help the teams 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.
• Projects - you’ll be a key part of applying our Product Led Growth practices to identify, measure and constantly improve our platform through experimentation.

At Snyk, each team is composed of an Engineering Manager (that’s you!), several Engineers. Additionally, the team regularly collaborates with our group Architect and our group Product Manager, who provide support to multiple teams. While we have a strong culture of collaboration, our teams are empowered and encouraged to set and drive their direction and priorities - to define how their work will ladder up to our strategic objectives. We don’t have a culture of micro-management. Instead, it is a culture of support, coaching, facilitation and deep care.
