What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Solutions Engineer position at Snyk?
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 an Enterprise Solutions Engineer, you won’t just support sales—you will own the technical strategy for Snyk's most complex, high-stakes opportunities. You will orchestrate the end-to-end technical lifecycle, evolving traditional technical validations into Business Value Realization strategies. As a key strategic advisor, you will bridge the gap between developer workflows and C-suite priorities, quantifying Snyk’s ROI and securing our position as a mission-critical partner across the AMER Enterprise landscape.
