At Snyk, each team is composed of an Engineering Manager (that's you!), several Engineers.

While we have a strong culture of collaboration, our teams are empowered and encouraged to set and drive their direction and priorities - to define how their work will ladder up to our strategic objectives. We don’t have a culture of micro-management. Instead, it is a culture of support, coaching, facilitation and deep care
