Fullstack Senior Software Engineer, Security Workflows

About Semgrep

Semgrep is on a mission to make it expensive to exploit software. As the team behind the most popular SAST, we built the Semgrep AppSec Platform to deliver industry-leading code, dependency, and secrets scanning to enable organizations to ship secure code quickly without slowing down development.

With fast, customizable code analysis across large codebases, Semgrep helps teams catch vulnerabilities early and fix them faster. Leading companies like Snowflake, Plaid, Figma, Lyft, and Dropbox rely on Semgrep to secure their software.

Semgrep is funded by top investors, including Felicis Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, and Sequoia Capital.

About the role

As a member of the Security Workflows team, you’ll build customer‑facing, cross‑product integrations that make it simple for application security teams to prioritize, triage, and remediate vulnerabilities at scale. Whether that is through notifications, automating their workflows, reporting on how much time you saved them, or the next great idea, you’ll see how you can bring all the products together to help teams fix vulnerabilities fast and easy. Application Security teams deal with thousands of vulnerabilities every day, and our goal is to enable teams to cut through the noise and more efficiently focus on the most impactful vulnerabilities first. We aim to help AppSec teams fix vulnerabilities by building integrations with the systems where developers are already active.

You’ll learn about the application‑security space, mentor more junior developers, collaborate with product managers and other engineers to create security tools our customers love, architect systems for storing and maintaining sensitive data, and help us surface those data back to our users to help them understand their individual security posture. Through Semgrep’s culture of transparency, you’ll see and influence the decisions that make a startup successful. Your decisions will be key to making Semgrep a world‑leading static‑analysis project, giving you lasting influence not only at Semgrep, but in the world’s developer community.

What you will :

• Work on major product initiatives end‑to‑end, from user‑research through design, implementation, and deployment
• Help set technical and product direction, collaborating with the team to determine the future of the product, what features to build, and how to build them
• Learn from users to understand their needs, build products to help keep them secure, and work with them to help them scale their security programs
• Advocate for and develop intuitive, simple, robust APIs that solve a wide variety of complex problems using simple, elegant abstractions
• Ensure continual, high‑availability operation of services using modern site‑reliability practices, including participation in an on‑call rotation
• Advise and mentor other engineers via thoughtful code reviews, planning discussions, technical documentation, and formal mentorship

Our goal is to competitively and fairly compensate every Semgrep employee with a system that equally rewards those who are vocal and those who are less comfortable making demands during the final steps of the hiring process. To that end, we generate internal compensation bands that are used when discussing and negotiating salaries. We update these based on market data to make sure they’re above the average for comparable roles.

We also invest in our employees’ well‑being and long‑term success with comprehensive health plans, generous vacation time, 401k, learning stipends, and more. Our benefits are for everyone, so that you’re taken care of, and we work with individuals to make sure they have what they need, whether that’s quiet work space, adjusted hours, or something else.

Who we are

We have people from France and the Philippines, physics and philosophy, formal methods research and full‑fledged corporations. We’re new parents and new grads, aspiring authors and aspiring Americans, dog lovers and dogfooders. We get together often to bike, bake, and meet up in parks. In our interactions, we believe respect and honesty go hand in hand, and prioritize both.

We value who you are — including your cultural heritage, your socioeconomic status, your age, your race, your gender, your sexual orientation, your disabilities. We value what’s vitally important to you — your family, your religion, your politics. We value what you love in this world — your music, your weekend pursuits.
