Manager, Engineering

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?

We’re seeking an experienced and collaborative Engineering Manager to lead our 'Engine' team of 8 Software Engineers in Lisbon. This role involves leading the team scaling our next-gen DAST solution - Snyk API & Web - built for the future of AI-powered software development.

• Help the team learn, adapt and improve upon agile and lean methodologies. You’ll help the team 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. 
• You’ll be a key part of applying our Product Led Growth practices to identify, measure and constantly improve our platform through experimentation.
• Partake in hands-on coding as needed, including code reviews.

What You Bring:

• Strong leadership and team management skills.
