Job Description
Full 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.
Why this role:
As our Technical Support Engineer, you will be talking directly to active and prospective Snyk customers every day. You’ll join our Customer Success team, and you’ll work directly alongside our talented engineering team to help solve the most complex issues.
You’ll spend your time:
Answering our users’ questions through email, chat, and GitHub issues.
Understanding, reproducing and (where you can) resolving the issues that our customers encounter.
Diving into our codebase to figure out where the issue lies and what a good solution might look like.
Escalating to engineering to resolve highly technical issues.
Ensuring that every user facing an issue knows exactly when they’ll hear back from us and how we’re doing with solving their problem.
Listening to our users’ needs, keeping track of recurring requests, and representing their voice in product prioritization discussions.
Improving our support processes, so that as we continue to grow we can keep providing prompt and delightful service.
As the main point of contact for our customers, you’ll play a critical role in building and maintaining their trust. You will need to balance the needs of our enterprise customers with those of our self-service online users, so that we can build a sustainable business while also contributing to the open source community.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape what best-in-class technical support looks like, and to help us get there. That could be through writing customer documentation and FAQs, or developing your technical skills by working on tooling for the Customer Success & Support team, for example dashboards or integrations between tools we already use (like Slack, Intercom, and Jira).
Over time, we’d love for you to lead the support aspects of our Customer Success team, or to transition into a developer role in the broader company.
What You’ll Need:
You love helping people, and care deeply about providing an excellent customer experience.
You take a logical approach to solving problems and prioritization.
You are a clear communicator, both verbally and in writing, and you enjoy explaining things to others.
You are curious: you love to explore new challenges, but know when you need guidance from someone with more domain experience.
You’re interested in security or open source software, and you believe in our mission.
We’d be Lucky if You:
You’re interested in developing your technical skills: you’re excited about working with others’ code, and you have used GitHub or other source control tools.
You have previous experience working closely with technical teams. Perhaps you’ve provided support for a technical product, worked in QA, or are taking your first steps to becoming a software engineer.
