Technical Writer

Posted Apr 8

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.

You’ll Spend Your Time:

  • Writing and enhancing user documentation based on Snyk products and functions.

  • The ability to enable and support content created by SMEs who are not professional writers
  • The ability to manage your own time and work schedule to prioritise the important work first
  • Experience in pulling together many threads of information into one cohesive entity
