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

We are seeking a Product Designer to help expand our small design team of two. As a member of the team, you'll work with engineers, PMs, and design peers to research, create, and refine world-class product experiences for security and software engineers. You'll make complex workflows and technical topics accessible to a broad audience of engineers and security stakeholders, all while securing some of the world's most important code. Through Semgrep's culture of audacious, fast, and relentlessly improving, you will impact and influence everything we do at this growth-stage company.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to and lead strategic decisions around product definitions and roadmaps, grounding decisions in user needs and insights.
• Advocate for simple, consistent, and thoughtfully designed product workflows across Semgrep's products.
• Regularly interact with users and synthesize knowledge about their needs and workflows.
• Collaborate with other designers and provide feedback and critique during review sessions.
• Mentor and guide other members of the design team. Educate and create tools to help non-designers make better tactical design decisions.
• Build effective working relationships across functions and involve the wider team in the design process.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of product design experience working on digital products; experience with engineer-focused, B2B, or enterprise products is a plus.
• A strong understanding of software engineering or experience designing for a technical or engineering audience.
• A desire to do hands-on user research on an early-stage team, from planning and recruiting to analysis and insights delivery.
• Enthusiasm for simplifying complex workflows, and a deep curiosity about users and their problems.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with attention to detail and fast iteration.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Example projects

• Designing and simplifying how users configure and model complex security policies to secure their codebases.
• Integrate cutting-edge AI into workflows in strategic ways, such as contextualizing and prioritizing security findings.
• Designing a Semgrep editor (IDE) that makes it simple to write and share powerful Semgrep rules with the community.
• Codify and teach UI/UX components and patterns to enable self-service and reduce need for a dedicated designer.
