Job DescriptionJob Description

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.

  • Designing, maintaining and communicating security/privacy assurance and compliance strategies and plans a specific focus on expansion of the security certification portfolio that are designed to keep Snyk abreast of regulatory and commercially driven framework requirements in markets Snyk expands to.
  • Executing periodic organizational and asset level risk and impact assessments to identify security & privacy risks in a manner that drives Snyk leaders to invest in risk minimization efforts.
  • Driving operational efficiencies through process and program improvements and implementation of automation toolsets to gain efficiencies.
  • Providing advisory services to other teams on maintaining compliance with privacy and security policies and standards through the course of their business operations.
  • Collaborating with legal on the development and implementation of information security and data protection policies and processes.
  • Collaborating with security teams on matters relating to data assurance, data protection, threat defense, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
  • Working closely with legal and product teams globally to review products, features, new applications and initiatives to provide legal risk mitigation strategies to ensure legal compliance for products from an information security perspective.
  • Coordinating with legal, information security, trust & safety, privacy & data protection, and other cross-functional colleagues on all matters related to information security and incident response, including communication, policy development, and enforcement aspects.

What You'll Need:
