The Big Fix is an annual event by Snyk to help secure open source software by finding and fixing vulnerabilities, while also providing job opportunities in cybersecurity and tech. Participating in community-focused activities such as open source projects, speaking at conferences or meetups, organizing meetup groups, and contributing to online forums can increase chances of getting hired in cybersecurity. The event features a prioritized list of open job opportunities with various tech organizations, including ServiceNow, Enso, Vanta, Sysdig, and Brightsec, which are hiring for roles such as cybersecurity compliance analyst, senior backend developer, and engineering manager. Snyk's community lead, Sam Hepburn, has advice on contributing to open source projects, while Randall Degges emphasizes the importance of community participation in enhancing development careers.
