About Semgrep
Our mission is to make world-class software security available to everyone. This means building program analysis tools that are open source, easy to use, powerful, and fast. It also means building a team with security expertise and a passion for great developer experiences. Most of all, it means working with honesty and respect in a diverse community of dreamers and builders. We’ve redefined static analysis tooling by committing to all of these, and turned our project, Semgrep, into an essential safeguard for code at Snowflake, Dropbox, and more.
As a member of the Frameworks & Services team, you’ll create fundamental building blocks that handle common concerns for other software engineers at Semgrep and help customers to adopt and use our products more effectively. Areas of focus include authentication and authorization, abstractions for interacting with various source code systems (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket), and services that configure Semgrep scans and process their results.
You’ll learn about the application-security space, mentor more junior developers, collaborate with product managers and other engineers to create stable robust platform, and architect distributed system that are secure, reliable, and performant. 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 we offer
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.

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.
