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.

The Role

As an Engineering Manager for Semgrep's supply chain team, you'll lead a team building customer-facing tools to help developers secure their software from vulnerabilities introduced by dependencies. Our goal is to cut through the noise to make it easy to find and remediate the 20% of vulnerabilities that are actually reachable given the way our customers use their dependencies. You will help Semgrep be the leading application security platform while mentoring junior engineers, collaborating on customer-loved tools, architecting data systems, and helping users understand their security posture. Through Semgrep's culture of transparency, you'll see and influence the decisions that make a startup successful.
